Scholarships at University of Birmingham

In celebration of the University’s proud status as a partner sponsor of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, we are offering a generous Masters scholarship for international students, to ensure that concerns about finance do not present a barrier to students from Commonwealth countries considering study at the University.

With a value of £3,000 per scholarship, this award is available to all international students from countries participating in the Commonwealth Games 2022, who are seeking to study a taught Masters degree at Birmingham in the 2022/23 academic year.
