Scholarships

Our University offers scholarships to people in the process of seeking asylum or fleeing from war and persecution, to cover the full cost of an undergraduate or postgraduate-taught programme.

Article 26 Scholarships 

Students who cannot access student finance due to their status as sanctuary seekers in the UK can apply for our Article 26 Scholarships, which include asylum seekers and also people with other limited forms of leave to remain in the UK.

Humanitarian Scholarship 

Fully funded scholarships are available for prospective students who are fleeing war and persecution. They are open to any international applicant who has been displaced because of armed conflict or is at serious risk of persecution or violence due to race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.
