University of Bath

more info

Undergraduate scholarships
We were delighted to announce the launch of the University of Bath International Scholarships programme in 2006. In 2007, 40 scholarships each to the value of £3,000 will be awarded to students who pay fees at the overseas rate. These awards are merit based and all international students who apply to the University receive automatic consideration. There is no need to make a separate scholarship application. Candidates are considered on the basis of the information provided in their UCAS application and the scholarships will be allocated in recognition of academic excellence - namely the grades achieved in examinations prior to entering the University of Bath. Students selected for a scholarship will be notified by August 2007.

In some instances the scholarships may be awarded on a conditional basis, in which case final confirmation of the scholarship will depend upon achieving a certain level of performance in high school or other examinations being undertaken prior to enrolling at the University of Bath. The £3,000 payment will be credited towards tuition fees. Scholarship recipients will be presented with a certificate at an awards ceremony when they commence their studies at the University.

Some academic departments also offer scholarships for international students and they will advise applicants directly of what provision they have on offer.

Postgraduate scholarships
The University of Bath International Scholarships programme includes 40 Masters scholarships each to the value of £3,000. All students who pay fees at the overseas rate and will study on a full-time basis are eligible for consideration. There is no need to make a separate application. Candidates are considered on the basis of the information provided in their application for postgraduate study and the scholarships will be allocated on the basis of academic excellence - namely the grades achieved in examinations prior to entering the University of Bath. In some instances the scholarships may be awarded on a conditional basis, in which case final confirmation of the scholarship will depend upon achieving a certain level of performance in examinations being undertaken prior to enrolling at the University of Bath.

Students selected for a scholarship will be notified by August 2007. The £3,000 payment will be credited towards tuition fees. Scholarship recipients will be presented with a certificate at an awards ceremony when they commence their studies at the University.

Research scholarships
The University of Bath is a research-led institution and in recognition of this a variety of sources of funding are available to PhD students. The important advice is firstly to apply for the research project that you are interested in (scholarship consideration invariably follows on from receiving a formal offer of admission) and, secondly, apply well in advance of the academic year in which you intend to commence your studies (many scholarships are allocated by April each year). The University has 9 fully funded PhD studentships, most of which combine our financial support with monies from the Overseas Research Student (ORS) scheme. These awards cover both tuition fees and living expenses. A significant number or partial awards and scholarships that come to the University through external sources are also available and in some circumstances scholarships may be combined to increase their value. Certain scholarships may be subject or project specific. To maximise the chances of success we always advise applicants to explore as many potential sources of financial aid as possible, including funding agencies in their own country.

For more information please contact your nearest Study Overseas office.
