Scholarships

What financial help is available?

Scholarships for new students

Our aim is to provide as much financial assistance as possible, so if you win a scholarship it will apply to all years of your course.

We have an extensive scholarship programme to help well-qualified international students to study in Huddersfield.

All self-funding international applicants with overseas fee status applying for undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes will automatically be considered for these scholarships and will be notified of their assessed status in their offer letter and through our applicant portal.

Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievements and the standard of English language that an applicant will reach, so it is important to submit all of your transcripts with your application.

These scholarships are available for all start dates in the year and for the full duration and each year of a course. If you are accepted to progress from one of our undergraduate courses to one of our postgraduate courses you may also qualify for a generous progression scholarship.

The University will award named discretionary scholarships of £2,000 per annum to applicants who meet our criteria.  Applicants:

• Will automatically be considered for an award when they apply for a course.
• Must be international, full fee-paying applicants coming to study on campus in the UK.  Applicants with refugee or asylum-seeker status will not qualify, nor will students with indefinite leave to remain in the UK or those who are in the UK as dependants.
• Must have applied for and obtained an offer to a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate taught programme at the University.  The International Foundation Year, International Diploma, Pre-Master's Programme, MBA any off-campus courses, and postgraduate research programmes are excluded from the scholarship scheme.
• Should not be receiving sponsorship from other sources.  This includes official funding from Governments, Ministries, other scholarship programmes (i.e. Chevening or Commonwealth Shared Scholarships), or commercial organisations.
