In the first year only on either undergraduate or postgraduate degree courses, international students will receive a £1,000 VC Scholarship.

An additional discount of £500 is available for prompt payment of the first-year fees in full, before or at registration (undergraduate and postgraduate).

*Including undergraduate to postgraduate, and postgraduate to MBA.

Undergraduate EU Qualifications bursary

From our September 2023 intake, students who are accepted onto their Undergraduate programme solely on the basis of an eligible EU qualification will receive a tuition fee reduction in the form of a bursary of £4,500 per academic year.

Eligibility for this bursary is not based on nationality – all students who meet the criteria will receive the award, regardless of nationality – and so, for example, students undertaking an EU qualification in a school outside of Europe may be eligible. The scheme exists to support as many eligible undergraduate students as possible and there are no limits to the number of awards available.

To receive the bursary, the below criteria must be met. Applicants must be:

• Classed as International/Overseas fee-payer status. Home fee paying students are not eligible.
• Applying for the first year of an undergraduate course at level 3 (foundation) or level 4 (first year) commencing from September 2023 onwards (Applicants looking to enter at level 5 or 6 are not eligible as they would not be entering on the basis of an eligible EU qualification)
• Applying based solely on an eligible EU qualification. See our full list of accepted qualifications. Admissions based on a mix of non-EU and EU qualifications are not eligible.

Students who are successful in being awarded the bursary will not be eligible for any other scholarships or bursaries, such as the VC Scholarship, but may be eligible for the prompt payment discounts on tuition fees.

We don’t want money worries to get in the way of your degree success or enjoyment of your time at the University. So if you get into financial difficulties while studying, help is available through our financial hardship funding. This funding provides extra money if you need financial support to pay your course costs or stay in higher education. It can also provide help if you are on a low income or suffering financial hardship.
