UWE Bristol Postgraduate Success Scholarship

A one-year scholarship supporting ambitious international postgraduate students joining UWE Bristol in September 2026.

About the scholarship

The UWE Bristol Postgraduate Success Scholarship recognises talented international students and is designed to help you begin your postgraduate studies with confidence.

Two award levels are available.

  • £2,500 for eligible applicants who make a minimum tuition fee payment of £8,500.
  • £3,500 for applicants who choose to pay their full tuition fees upfront (full fee minus the scholarship amount).

This scholarship is applied as a tuition fee reduction for the first year of study only.

Eligibility

You will receive the scholarship if you:

  • are an international fee paying student
  • hold an offer for a full time, in person taught postgraduate degree at UWE Bristol
  • meet the academic and English language requirements for your chosen programme
  • are not sponsored and not receiving another UWE Bristol tuition fee reduction
  • meet the tuition fee payment requirement for the relevant award level.

Awards are subject to meeting all offer conditions, visa requirements, and tuition fee payment deadlines.
