This scholarship is awarded as a fee waiver. It is open to self-funded international fee-paying students regardless of nationality or domicile who are starting their studies with us in September 2026.

The scheme is application-based, and awards are decided by a scholarship awards panel.

All scholarships must be allocated before a CAS is issued. Please apply early. They are not able to consider applications if your CAS has already been allocated.

ELIGIBILITY:

In order to be eligible, applicants must:

Be an overseas fee-paying student

Hold an offer to study a full-time masters programme*

Be self-funded (you must be paying for your studies independently rather than being sponsored or in receipt of another scholarship)

*Excludes part-time and distance-learning courses, MSc Artificial Intelligence (Conversion), MSc Pharmaceutical Sciences, MSc Biotechnology, MSc Human Nutrition and Food Science, and the MBA course.

The award is not deferrable (if applicants are deferring, they will need to reapply for the award). This will also be subject to the award availability.

This scholarship cannot be combined with the alumni or early bird discount.

For two-year postgraduate courses, the scholarship award is valid for the first year only.

Applications will be reviewed monthly.

You must have an offer from the University to complete the scholarship application form. Applications without a valid student ID and offer will not be assessed.
