Competitive, merit-based year of entry scholarships have been introduced for certain undergraduate degree courses. The scholarships are worth £1,000 and are paid to eligible students in the first year of their programme. The scholarships are offered by the departments listed below and are intended to be a contribution to your living and course costs.
Not all degree programmes offered by the departments are covered by scholarships. Please ensure you consult the lists of eligible courses for each department, shown below.
