1. Academic Excellence Scholarship

All applicants to our study abroad programme are eligible to apply for the Academic Excellence Scholarship, which is worth up to £1,000. Eligibility criteria include applying for study abroad with the equivalent of a UK first-class degree (3.2 GPA on a 4.0 scale or an above-average score on your latest transcript). Applicants from non-English-speaking countries who apply with an IELTS score of 7.0 or above are also eligible for this scholarship.

2. Financial Hardship Bursary

The study abroad bursary provides financial support of up to £1,000 for applicants who would benefit from additional assistance to study in the UK. These awards take into account factors such as family income, financial hardship, and other economic circumstances that may make studying in the UK challenging. The University is committed to providing opportunities for all students to study at Birmingham; however, as there are a limited number of bursaries available, early application is strongly recommended.
