EU Scholarship

Starting an undergraduate course in 2027/28? Eligible students will pay between £12,300 and £14,450 a year after the EU Scholarship, depending on their course. 

Starting a postgraduate taught or research course? Eligible students can receive a £5,000 scholarship for 2027/28 entry or £3,500 for 2028/29 entry. 

Scholarships are available for all intakes within the academic years shown. If you are eligible, your scholarship is applied automatically. You do not need to submit a separate scholarship application. 

Undergraduate Fees for 2027/28

The EU Scholarship reduces the international tuition fee for your course by £5,000 or £6,500 and applies for the duration of your undergraduate course.

Your annual fee for 2027/28

The undergraduate course pages shows the international tuition fee for 2027/28. From there you can deduct the scholarship amount to see the fee you pay. For example, a £19,500 tuition fee minus a £6,500 scholarship means you pay £13,000.
