Bath International Excellence Scholarship

University of Bath, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The University of Bath offers up to 300 Bath International Excellence Scholarships to high-achieving overseas fee-paying students starting an undergraduate degree in September 2027. Each award is a tuition fee discount of £8,000 per academic year, up to £24,000 over three years.

The award recognises academic and personal excellence. It is not a hardship fund and personal or financial circumstances are not considered. It is not available for the two-year MArch (Hons) Architecture for students who already hold a bachelor's degree, but it is available for BSc (Hons) Architecture and the four- or five-year MArch (Hons) Architecture.

  1. Hold an offer from Bath, with fee status confirmed if needed.
