International Scholarship Award 2027 | Study in United Kingdom — University of Greenwich
A scholarship applicable to both undergraduate and taught postgraduate students in the same scheme simplifies the search considerably for anyone comparing options across levels of study.
About the Scholarship
The International Scholarship Award at the University of Greenwich offers eligible international students a discount of up to three thousand five hundred pounds on their first year of tuition fees. The award covers both full-time undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses starting in the main September intake, though research degrees such as MRes, PhD and MPhil, along with Cert HE, PGCE and Greenwich Online courses, are excluded. EU nationals domiciled in the EU are not eligible for this particular award, though a separate EU bursary exists for that group instead.
