BCU International Undergraduate Scholarship 2026/27

Birmingham City University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

Birmingham City University (BCU) gives a guaranteed £5,000 scholarship to every self-funding international undergraduate student who joins a full-time degree starting in September 2026 or January 2027.

The award is a tuition fee discount spread over the first two years of study. No separate application is needed: applying for and enrolling on an eligible course is enough.

Students can hold only one BCU scholarship; anyone eligible for more than one automatically receives the larger award.
