China Bursary Scholarship

Teesside University offers a range of scholarships to support eligible students coming to study at the University from China.

The China Bursary Scholarship value is £1,000 in your first full academic year of study (all successful applicants on a foundation, undergraduate or postgraduate programme). Applicants on a foundation/pathway programme delivered at Teesside University International Study Centre are not eligible for the scholarship, but will be considered for the scholarship on progression to a full degree programme at Teesside University.

The scholarship is allocated as a fee waiver.

If you meet the criteria below, you will automatically be considered (but not guaranteed) the scholarship. You do not need to apply separately or contact the University to be considered for the scholarship, but will be assessed using details on your course application by the Department of International Development. If you are successful, you will be notified by the University after the deadline for all applications has passed. All eligible international applicants will be assessed by the International Scholarships Committee.
