Scholarships at University of Birmingham

We are offering a generous Masters scholarship for international students, to ensure that concerns about finance do not present a barrier to students from a selection of countries considering study at the University.

What is the Global Masters Scholarship?

This award (value to be confirmed shortly) is available to all international students from a selection of countries who are seeking to study a taught Masters degree at Birmingham in the 2023/24 academic year.
