Partially funded

Postgraduate International Bursary

Brunel University of London, United Kingdom

Scholarship overview

The Postgraduate International Bursary is a £4,000 tuition fee reduction for self-funded international students on Brunel's full-time postgraduate taught (PGT) and MRes courses, covering entry in January 2026, September 2026 and January 2027.

It is aimed at applicants with a UK 2:2 or equivalent undergraduate qualification, and also accepts a China Dazhuan qualification (75 with three years' work experience). Holders of a UK third-class degree may be considered case by case if they also hold a verified Master's qualification.

There is no separate application: eligible offer holders are assessed automatically once their £5,000 deposit has been received.
