Undergraduate awards

Each award comprises £10,000 for the first year of study with a further £10,000 awarded in second and third years. Continuation of the award is conditional on attainment of 60% in final exams and assessments each year. Scholarships will be awarded in the form of a discount on published international tuition fees.
Students must be taking one of the following qualifications: A-level, IB or AP’s (American Diploma).
Scholarships will be awarded based on academic excellence, predicted and achieved grades, and your responses to questions in the online application form, which will be emailed to all eligible offer-holders.
Awardees will be selected based on academic merit, but we'll endeavour to achieve a balance in the allocation of the awards by gender, domicile, qualification type and course of study.
