We reward academic excellence and we equally recognise possible barriers that may affect applicants’ journey to higher education. To make studying more accessible and help students achieve their aspirations, we offer different scholarships and bursaries to full-time, self-funding students.

What is the difference between a bursary and a scholarship?

  • Scholarships are typically awarded for academic and extra-curricular achievements.
  • Bursaries are typically awarded for students of certain countries of domicile.

You will be notified clearly in your offer letter about any scholarship or bursary award.

Funding support for students

We offer students on our Pathway programmes scholarships starting from 10% and you will automatically be considered for funding support during the application process.*

Please note that we do not offer fully funded scholarships, and you can contact our team to find out more about the scholarships or bursaries available to you.

*Information about the final scholarships/bursaries you are eligible for will be shared with you after you have applied to study with us. You do not need to fill in a separate application for this.

Country-specific scholarships and bursaries

Country-specific bursaries apply to International Foundation Programmes offered at Northumbria University, and you will receive more information once you have applied to study with us. Please note that these will not apply to the Graduate Certificate.

Check your eligibility

“The lecturers are fantastic because they provide me with lots of information, and support me with my studies. The library also is very good, I can find information very easily and it’s open 24 hours which means I can go at my own convenience.”
