Global Access Scholarship

De Montfort University, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The Global Access Scholarship is De Montfort University's main automatic award for new international students joining a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate taught degree in 2026/27 (September/October 2026 and February 2027 starts). It is given as a reduction in tuition fees.

Undergraduates receive the award in every year of study, whatever their point of entry; postgraduate taught students receive it for the single year of their programme. There is no application: the scholarship is applied when the tuition fee deposit is paid before the deposit deadline.

Students who pay their full first-year fees (net of scholarships) before the deposit deadline also receive a Full Fee Payment Scholarship of £500, the only award that can be combined with the Global Access Scholarship.
