Excellence Scholarships

At Birmingham we are keen to attract the brightest and best students. The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences will be offering a number of Excellence Scholarships for new undergraduate students joining the University in September 2012.

About the Scholarships

The admissions tutors in each school will nominate the highest achieving candidates who will then be shortlisted by a college selection panel. The Scholarships will be for £5,000 per annum and are available in the following subject areas:

  • Chemistry
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Civil Engineering
  • Computer Science
  • Electrical, Electonic and Computer Engineering
  • Mathematics
  • Metallurgy and Materials
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Physics and Astronomy

Scholarships will be renewed for each year of undergraduate study, provided that the recipient is performing to first class degree level.

In return, students will be expected to act as ambassadors for the University, College and their subject area and to make regular reports on their academic and other progress to the alumni and donors who have made these Scholarships possible.   

How to apply

You do not need to apply for this scholarship. You will be nominated by your School once all results have been published.
