The University of Chester (UK) Scholarships

The University of Chester has its own Bursary scheme. Full-time international (non-EU) undergraduate or postgraduate students may be offered a bursary of £1,000 to reduce their tuition fee costs.

Students who meet our academic entry requirements, accept their place on the course, and pay the full tuition fee in advance of enrolment, will be offered a £1,000 bursary. This bursary is awarded in the form of discount. You will receive more information about this with your offer letter.

Please note that you will only be eligible for the bursary if you or a member of your family, or other private sponsor will be paying your fees. No bursary can be awarded if you are funded by your employer or by a government body.

The University also offers course specific bursary/scholarships of up to £1,500. Any amount awarded will be confirmed to you in your offer letter.

For PhD research students, the University of Chester offers a small number of scholarships, or Gladstone Fellowships, each year which covers tuition fees at the UK/EU rate. The University contributes half of the funding, with the remainder coming from external sponsors. Gladstone Fellowships will be on offer subject to the availability of external sponsors.

In addition, the British Government offers a number of scholarships each year, including the British Chevening Scholarships, Department for International Development (DfID) scholarships, and, for PhD students, the Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme. Full details of the various awards are given on the British Council website.
