International Scholarships
Each year, we welcome students from a diverse range of backgrounds from all over the world. We offer merit-based scholarships, specially awarded and research scholarships for eligible international students. These can help to assist with the costs of study, including undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
Merit-based scholarships
At the University of Huddersfield, we recognise academic excellence by offering a merit-based scholarship of up to £4,000. There is no specific application process for these scholarships. Once you apply to study at the University as an international student, you will automatically be considered for this scholarship if you meet the eligibility criteria.
If you’re awarded a scholarship, you will be notified in your offer letter and given the full details of what you will receive.
