Opportunity Scholarship

Scholarship award-holders will receive £3,000 per year for three years (excluding a placement year). These cash bursaries are funded through donations from alumni and friends of the University.

If you are an existing º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ student then you are not eligible for this scholarship. Please refer to our Student Support website for financial advice and guidance.
