These highly prestigious scholarships are renewable for each year of study, providing the recipient obtains full credits and an overall year mark of 70% or higher.

10 of these highly prestigious Scholarships, which are funded by a generous gift to the University from BP, will be available across the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences.

Music Scholarships

Birmingham’s musical heritage reaches back to our first Professor of Music, Edward Elgar. Today, both the new Bramall Music Building and the Barber Institute host regular public performances from our two orchestras, choirs, bands and other music ensembles. In recognition of this legacy, the University of Birmingham will be offering 30 new Music Scholarships to new undergraduates in September 2013. Learn more about the music scholarships.
