University of Birmingham Global Masters Scholarship

About this scholarship

The University of Birmingham Global Masters Scholarship is a tuition-fee scholarship for international students pursuing master's study. The official postgraduate scholarships page states that £5,000 scholarships are available for international students choosing to pursue a master's degree at Birmingham in September 2026. The award is recorded as partial funding because it is a fixed tuition-fee scholarship and does not cover full tuition, living costs, accommodation, travel, visa costs, insurance, books, or personal expenses. Birmingham notes that each scholarship has its own specific deadline and that applicants should familiarize themselves with those dates to allow sufficient time to submit an application. Once a student applies to a postgraduate course, they receive an application or student ID number, which is needed for many scholarship applications so that any award can be applied correctly to the student account. Applicants should use the official postgraduate funding database and scholarship listing for the current route and country eligibility.
