Scholarships and Bursaries

We want to make sure that talented students with potential can succeed on our degrees, regardless of your financial situation. That’s why we offer a great range of scholarships and bursaries. To find out more, take a look at the table below.
You’ll automatically be considered for a scholarship if you take part in our Applicant day. You can take part in an Applicant day even if you have/are predicted to get the grades you need. Depending on the scholarship you apply for, you could be awarded up to 100% of your tuition fees.
All scholarships are provided as a tuition fee waiver and any offer will be conditional on you accepting us as ‘Conditional Firm’ or ‘Unconditional Firm’ if applying through UCAS. Please see our terms and conditions for full details.
