We are offering a generous Masters scholarship for international students joining Birmingham from eligible countries around the world, to ensure that concerns about finance do not present a barrier to those considering study at the University
What is the Global Scholarship?
With a value of £2,000 per scholarship, this award is available to all international students from a selection of countries who are seeking to study a taught Masters degree at Birmingham in the 2024/25 academic year. Eligible scholars who successfully meet the criteria will have this amount deducted from their total tuition fees owed.
In order to be eligible, candidates must meet the following requirements. You must:

- Start your studies at the University in September/ October 2024 on a full-time course delivered at the University’s UK campus.
- If you decide to defer your programme start date to September 2025, you will no longer be eligible as the scholarship is only available for programmes starting in September 2024.

Deadline
We recommend that you apply for your intended programme as soon as possible to ensure you meet the eligibility for this scholarship.
For information on how to apply to our postgraduate programmes, visit our guidance pages.
Once an offer for admissions is made, candidates must meet the deadlines set by the Admissions Office (and stated in their offer letter) to ‘accept’ their offer and pay a deposit – this will simultaneously secure both the place on the Masters degree programme and this scholarship.
To secure this scholarship candidates must have an unconditional offer, and have accepted this unconditional offer, by 31 May 2024 (23:59 UK time/ GMT+1). If candidates secure an unconditional offer after this, they will not be eligible for this scholarship.
Please be aware that the University reserves the right to cease the scholarship offer to new applicants at any time.
