Documents you will need

The university may request evidence of domicile, fee status, funding source and application channel (agent or direct). Failure to provide it may lead to withdrawal of the award. Temporary UK residents who are nationals of another country remain eligible if they meet all other criteria.

How selection works

Final eligibility is assessed after registration and payment deadlines. The award is withdrawn if you withdraw or suspend studies, are withdrawn by the university, are reassessed as home fee status or become eligible for the alumni scholarship.
