EU Support Bursary 2026/27 and 2027/28

Coventry University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The EU Support Bursary reduces the tuition fee for eligible EU nationals from the international rate to the home (UK) rate. It is for students starting a full-time, on-campus undergraduate or postgraduate degree in the 2026/27 or 2027/28 academic year, across all intakes in those years.

The bursary is credited automatically to the tuition fee account after enrolment and renews each year for the full length of the course (3-4 years for undergraduates), subject to academic progression. Students still pay £8,000 to enrol: a £4,000 deposit for the CAS and a further £4,000 before enrolment. The offer letter shows the full international fee; the CAS shows the reduced fee.
