Scholarships Applications

When applying for a scholarship online, please bare in mind the following:

  • you should familiarise yourself with the scholarship eligibility criteria before applying (more details can be found in the guidance below).
  • each scholarship fund will have a deadline, and the scholarship will only be available online until that date.
  • scholarships are not available for existing visiting students or applicants.
  • during the application you will be asked to state which programme of study you wish to apply for and which scholarship.
  • during the application you will be asked questions to check your eligibility for the scholarship, if you are eligible you will be asked to submit a personal statement in support of your application.
  • if you have more than one application to study with us then you will need to apply for each programme.

This screen provides information and links to further details on the following:

  • eligibility criteria

A scholarship may be restricted to certain programmes, so we therefore need to know which application for study, or programme of study you are applying for.

If you are a registered student, we only need to know which scholarship you wish to apply for:

Select Scholarship

The list of scholarships available to select are restricted only by the level of study that the fund is applicable to, and whether it is open to admissions applicants or students.

You can only select one scholarship at a time.

Having selected a scholarship to apply for, the background eligibility checks are now performed. If you are not eligible, the process will end with the message below:
