Scholarships We offer a generous package of scholarships and bursaries to help with the costs of university. Our range of scholarships and bursaries can provide financial support such as tuition fee reductions or a contribution towards living costs. Bursaries are awarded automatically to eligible students from lower income backgrounds or care leavers while our scholarships are primarily merit-based or aimed at under-represented groups. We review and update our scholarships each year but an overview of what is usually available is provided below. For details on our current selection of scholarships and bursaries, as well as how to apply, please see our website.
Department scholarships Some of our academic departments offer specific scholarships based on academic success, including Computer Science and Physics. Visit our website for details.
Music scholarships If you play a musical instrument or sing, we offer choral, organ, instrumental or music scholarships. You do not need to be studying a course in our Music department to apply for one of these scholarships.
Academic success scholarships
Sports scholarships
If you’re a high-flying student you should consider applying for one of our merit-based scholarships.
Each year we offer a range of sports scholarships to students with varying levels of ability from County players to Olympic hopefuls. See p.17 for more information.
Scholarships for under-represented groups We provide a number of scholarships aimed at students from groups currently under-represented in higher education.
Scholarships for international students We offer a range of scholarships to students joining us from outside the UK.
Bursaries Our bursaries provide automatic financial support to students from lower income backgrounds and care leavers, so that the cost of university is less of a barrier to education.
