How do I apply?
- You must make an application to the University through UCAS by 15 October and be successful in gaining a place.
- You will then need to complete a separate scholarship application form and arrange for two references to be submitted on your behalf.
- Scholars will be expected to write an annual report about their academic and social activities, and achievements at the University.
- Receipt of the award in subsequent years is subject to satisfactory academic progress.
- Applicants should be aware that competition for the scheme is very high and the University does not have additional funding for those candidates who are not offered a scholarship
