Bursaries

Departmental Entrance Bursaries

The Department is pleased to offer entrance bursaries to the best new UK/EU students on all our degree programmes. These awards are granted in recognition of your achievements at A Level (or in equivalent qualifications) and are for the first year of study only. They are distinct from the University´s bursary scheme for UK students and can be awarded on top of any bursary you may receive from the University.
