The application period is now closed for our January 2023 intake. By November 28, 2022, applicants will be notified of the results of their scholarship application.
Successful overseas candidates who join us in January for their first year of study will receive International Development Awards, which are scholarships worth £5,000 each. We only offer partial funding for our overseas scholarships. They are neither promised nor given automatically. They require an application. This implies that you must ensure that you can pay the remaining balance for fees and living costs on your own.
