Eligibility criteria

To be eligible for this scholarship, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • You must apply for and receive an offer to study a taught Masters degree at the University of Birmingham (UK campus) for the 2025/26 academic year.

  • You must be domiciled in one of the selected countries listed below.

  • You must be classified as an overseas fee payer for tuition purposes by the University.

  • You must start your studies in September or October 2025 on a full-time programme delivered at the University’s UK campus.

  • MSc programmes at Birmingham Business School are eligible for the 125th Anniversary Scholarships. However, additional details, including specific requirements and criteria for scholarships related to Business School programmes, will be announced shortly. We encourage applicants to stay updated on our website for the latest information.

  • To be considered for our  125th Anniversary Scholarship worth up to £5,000, which is exclusively for students domiciled in India, eligible students must submit a separate application for the India Chancellor’s Scholarship. This will open soon, so please check our website regularly for updates. Winners will be selected based on academic merit from the shortlist generated through the India Chancellor’s Scholarship applications.

  • Students in receipt of a full tuition fee scholarship from an external organisation are not eligible. If the University becomes aware that a student is fully sponsored by a third-party organisation (i.e., an organisation is providing a scholarship covering 100% of tuition fees), the student will be disqualified from receiving the 125th Anniversary Scholarship. If the scholarship has already been awarded, it will be withdrawn. Please ensure you accurately declare your funding source during enrolment.

Are there any exclusions or programmes not eligible?

  • If you defer your start date to September 2026, you will no longer be eligible, as the scholarship is only available for September 2025 entry.

  • Programmes delivered exclusively through distance learning are not eligible.

  • MBA programmes are not eligible.

  • Other postgraduate programmes such as PhD, MPhil, MRes, MMus, and MLit, as well as PGDip and PGCert programmes, are not eligible.

  • Undergraduate programmes, including MBChB, MEng, MSci, and MPharm, are not eligible.
