International students

You are classed as an International student if you are from a country outside of the European Union. All undergraduate and postgraduate International students are eligible for the International Scholarship.

The International Scholarship reduces the tuition fee you pay in your first year by £1,500. This scholarship is applied automatically - you don't have to apply for it. The scholarship is in the form of a fee waiver, which means that your tuition fee is reduced by £1,500.
