The Chancellor’s Academic Merit Scholarship is based on predicted grades. The scholarship will apply to all years of study including our student exchange year in the UK, unless your final and/or Masters year of study is in the UK; BSc Biomedical Science, MSci Biomedical Science, MEng Mechanical Engineering, MEng Computer Science and Software Engineering.
For our postgraduate programmes, the Chancellor’s Academic Merit Scholarship will be based on your Bachelor (or equivalent) grades. The scholarship is applied to the full tuition fee of the programme regardless of whether it is full-time or part-time. Unless you apply for the MSc Mental Health programme where it will be applicable to Year 1 only.
