The following
application guidance and advice is intended for applicants who wish to apply
for one of the below listed scholarships:
For any other
international scholarships, please refer to individual pages for detailed
application procedures.
Application process
A link to the
online application form is sent automatically via email to students who
receive an offer of admission to an eligible degree programme for the 2013/14
academic year.
Please wait at least 7 days from
the date of your offer to receive this email.
If after 7 days you
have not received the application link, please submit an online enquiry
via www.studenthelp.bham.ac.uk for
the attention of the Student Funding Office, including your full name, University ID number and a brief
description.
The application is
a web-based form which is submitted electronically to the University of
Birmingham. If you experience any technical difficulties completing the form,
please contact the Student Funding Office for advice:
·
Tel: +44 (0)121 414 7391
Applications will
be shortlisted and considered throughout June and early July.
Due the large
number of applications normally received, we are unable to contact all
applicants individually, therefore, only
successful applicants will be notified in writing by the end of July.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide individual feedback for
unsuccessful applications.
If you have not
heard from the University by the end of July, please assume that your
application for a scholarship was unsuccessful.
Who is eligible to
apply?
All scholarship
applicants must:
·
hold an offer
of admission to an eligible one year Masters (taught or
research) degree programme at the University of Birmingham;
·
be studying full-time and on-campus (not
distance learning);
·
be classified as overseas for fees, i.e you
are expecting to pay the international rate of tuition fees;
·
meet any nationality requirements, i.e some
scholarships may require you to be a national of a particular country and/or
living in a particular country or continent at the time of application;
·
not be in receipt of a full fee paying
scholarship from any other
source;
·
have sufficient funds to
cover the full cost
of living for a year at the University of Birmingham, plus
any visa/travel expenses associated with studying in the UK.
·
be able to pay any outstanding tuition fees that
the scholarship does not cover.
What kind of
information needs to be submitted?
The University
considers applicants based on the information provided in the online
application form. We also refer to undergraduate transcripts, undergraduate
graduation certificates (if applicable) and any references submitted to the
University as part of the admissions application. There is no need for
applicants to submit any additional supporting documentation.
The online
application form includes general questions about the applicant's academic
background and includes short essay-style questions (250 word limit) about
academic and extra-curricular achievement.
Due to the nature
of the online application form, you
will not be able to save and return to your form,
therefore, we recommend saving your answers to the essay-style questions in a
separate Word document available to download here:
Who are we looking
for?
Last year we
received around 800 applications; with only a relatively small number of
scholarships available, those applicants who were ultimately awarded had a
number of qualities which made them stand out.
Many of our
previous scholars achieved first class undergraduate degrees, studied at top
universities in their country, came top of their class or year group or had won
prestigious academic awards.
In addition,
applicants who were successful offered an outstanding record of achievement in
other areas of their life; perhaps exceptional achievement in extra-curricular
activities (such as in sport or music, managing events or societies),
significant achievement gained in their working life or through volunteering
and service to others.
What does the
scholarship cover?
The Scholarships
are tuition fee awards ranging from £5,000 up to the full cost of tuition for a
Masters degree programme. Applicants must be able to cover the additional
costs associated with studying at the University of
Birmingham, including living
costs, travel to the UK and potentially any
outstanding tuition fees (if the award is only a partial tuition fee
scholarship).
What is the
deadline for applications?
The deadline for
receipt of applications is Friday 31
May 2013.
Applications will
not be accepted if they are submitted to the University after this date.
