Graduate Scholarship

To be awarded a scholarship, you must fulfil the following criteria:

Have achieved a first or second class honours degree (first, 2:1, 2:2)
Be enrolling onto a Master's course, either full-time or part-time, that is not exempt from the Scholarship (see list below)
Be a UK, EU or international fee-paying student
Have achieved a BCU undergraduate degree within the past two years (24 months)*, e.g.

If you choose to defer entry to a course, your new start date would still need to fall within the 24-month window to access the Scholarship.

The Scholarship is also open to Level 7 Apprenticeship students who fulfil the criteria above. Students who joined BCU in their third year after gaining a HND are also eligible.

It is not open to ERASMUS students currently studying at BCU.

If you are eligible for the Graduate Scholarship and a second BCU scholarship, we will automatically award you the larger of the two. You can only hold one Scholarship, whichever represents the greater amount.
