International scholarships

The International Office awards more than £200,000 worth of partial scholarships to international students every year. These scholarships are available to students who are classified with an 'overseas' fee status. The International Office offers more than 60 scholarships and bursaries per year to international students (those classified with an 'overseas' fee status). These awards are given to:

• encourage academic excellence;
• increase the diversity of our student population; and
• develop relationships.

Their international scholarships are partial scholarships, each worth £3,300. This means that you must make sure you can cover the outstanding amount for fees and living expenses yourself.                                                           

Undergraduate scholarships

They offer up to ten scholarships for international undergraduate students for September entry. The scholarships are open to prospective full-time undergraduate students in any subject area for each year of a three-year course (subject to satisfactory progress). Foundation degree students (first year entry only) are also eligible for the scholarships.

You can apply for an award if you:

• are an international student (classified as 'overseas' for fee purposes);
• have an offer of a place on an undergraduate degree course or foundation degree course at Kingston for 2012 entry (first year entry only); and
• are not currently registered on an undergraduate course at Kingston University.

They wouldn't consider applications received after the deadline. Remember that the scholarships application procedure is separate from the admissions application procedure

Postgraduate scholarships

They offer awards totalling £200,000 every year, with each international scholarship worth £3,300. These are open to prospective full-time postgraduates in any subject area on a one-year taught masters degree based at Kingston University. Scholarships are available for both September entry and January entry (for courses with a relevant start date).

You can apply for an award if you:

• are an international student (classified as 'overseas' for fee purposes);
• have an offer of a place on a course at Kingston for 2013/14 entry; and
• are not currently registered on a postgraduate course at Kingston University.

In order to apply, you must first hold an offer of a place on a postgraduate taught course at Kingston University. The offer can either be conditional or unconditional. You can apply online using the same application form as for the other international postgraduate scholarships. You only need to make one application as Indian postgraduate applicants automatically are considered for both the international postgraduate scholarship and the postgraduate scholarships for Indian students.
