International scholarships

75 University of Brighton international scholarships worth a reduction of £2,000 off the cost of your tuition fees for each year of your course are available to outstanding new, full-time international undergraduate and postgraduate taught degree students. In 2009-10 students from over twenty five different countries received our scholarships.

Criteria

The criteria for awarding University of Brighton international scholarships are primarily merit-based.

• Merit does not necessarily have to mean academic merit but could also be interpreted to include outstanding performance in a variety of spheres.
• The strongest candidates will be those demonstrating a mixture of academic merit (including English language ability) and other merit or outstanding achievement in a particular field of activity.
• You will also need to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to pay the remainder of the fees.

Eligibility

In order to be eligible to apply for a scholarship you must be a new, full-time undergraduate or postgraduate taught degree international student with a minimum course duration of 1 year, and must have applied for the course of your choice at the University of Brighton, and have been offered a place on that course for 2010 entry.

Students studying foundation degrees or undergraduate degrees at University of Brighton partner colleges are not eligible for these awards. Existing international students are not eligible unless starting a new undergraduate or postgraduate programme.

How to apply

For the 2010 academic year, please email international@brighton.ac.uk, with your applicant or UCAS number in the subject line, and we will send you a scholarship application pack.

Deadline for application

Requests for scholarship application forms will be considered from 1 October 2009 for 2010 entry. The deadline for receiving scholarship applications back is 31 July 2010. Before that date, applications will be processed on a monthly quota basis once a scholarship application pack has been received by the university. Decisions about successful scholarship awards will be processed by the individual faculties, but will be administered centrally by the International Office, in the Registry department. You are advised to apply as early as possible after you have received our offer, as the number of scholarships is limited. Please note any accompanying documentation will not be returned.
