In celebration of the University’s proud status as a partner sponsor of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, we are 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.
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 Master’s degree at Birmingham in the 2021/22 academic year.

To accept the scholarship you will need to formally accept the offer you receive from the University’s Admissions Office, by the deadline stated on your offer. You can do this via the postgraduate portal.

Please be aware that the University reserves the right to cease the scholarship offer to new applicants at any time.
Once an offer for admissions is made, candidates must meet the deadlines set by the Admissions Office (and stated in the offer letter) to ‘accept’ their offer and pay a deposit – this will simultaneously secure both the place on the Master’s degree programme and also this scholarship.
Deadline: July 7, 2021
