The world of work is changing and the skills needed to succeed are changing too. That's why the University of Birmingham created the Future Skills Scholarship: to support ambitious students from India who are ready to build the strategic, digital and analytical capabilities that global employers are competing for.

What is the India Future Skills Scholarship?

The India Future Skills Scholarship is a £12,500 award for students domiciled in India who are ready to develop the analytical and strategic skills that drive growth for the world's leading organisations.
