Undergraduate scholarships and awards

Financial support

We believe that everyone with the talent to succeed should have access to higher education.

That's why we offer a range of scholarships and bursaries to help you on your way – and you don’t have to pay them back.

We understand how important financial support is for our students, so you’ll find a variety of scholarships available, some of monetary value and some others that provide equipment and learning resources to support your studies. Many are automatically awarded, you will receive them automatically without having to submit an application, if you're eligible. Others require an application to assess your eligibility.
