Birmingham’s Commonwealth scholarship

In celebration of the University’s proud status as a partner sponsor of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Birmingham University is offering an unprecedented 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.

What is the University of Birmingham Commonwealth Scholarship?
 
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 2021/22 academic year. Eligible scholars who successfully meet the criteria will have this amount deducted from their total tuition fees owed, according to the university website.
