Introduction 

Studying in the UK can be expensive, especially for international students. Fortunately, the University of Bradford offers several scholarship opportunities to reduce tuition fees, reward merit, and help students from all over the world achieve their academic goals. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2025 scholarships at Bradford.

💡 Key Scholarship: The Global Scholar Award

One of the main awards that international students often hear about is the Global Scholar Award.

What is it?

  • A tuition fee reduction scholarship for self-funding, international fee-paying students. 

  • Automatically applied when you enrol in an eligible full-time course at Bradford — you don’t need to fill out a separate scholarship form. 

Who qualifies?

  • New international students (self-funded) enrolling in full-time undergraduate, postgraduate taught, or research programmes (except MBA, distance learning or external programmes). 

  • Your nationality matters (i.e. being classified as an international student) rather than where you live. 

  • If you are a continuing student, you may retain the scholarship in subsequent years if you maintain a 60% average or above. 

How much is it?

  • The value of the Global Scholar Award depends on your country. For many countries (including Nigeria), it is £5,000 off tuition. 

  • For some other countries, the value is £4,000 or £2,000, depending on Bradford’s published scale. 

📆 Deadlines & Important Dates

  • For many undergraduate courses, the relevant deadlines for fee reduction scholarships are in August 2025 (for example, the Construction & Project Management UG scholarship). 

  • Postgraduate scholarships similarly have deadlines (often in mid to late 2025, depending on the course). Always verify on Bradford’s official scholarship page. 

✅ Eligibility Criteria (General)

While each scholarship has specific criteria, here are general requirements that often apply for international student scholarships at Bradford:

  • Be an international fee-paying student based on nationality. 

  • Be a new student enrolling in a full-time, eligible programme. 

  • For automatic scholarships, you must self-fund (i.e. not be sponsored or receiving external funding in many cases). 

  • Maintain good academic performance, especially for the continuation of awards beyond the first year. Around 60% average or above is expected in many cases.

  • Some specific scholarships (e.g. programme-based ones) may require certain grades, background, or prerequisites. Always check the individual scheme.

🔗 How to Apply & Where to Find More Info

  • Visit the Bradford Scholarships and Bursaries page: University of Bradford Scholarships 

  • For the Global Scholar Award, no separate application form is needed — the award is applied automatically upon enrolment for eligible candidates. 

  • For programme-specific scholarships (e.g. Applied AI, Construction & Project Management), follow the course page and admissions/finance sections of Bradford’s website.

  • Always confirm deadlines & eligibility on the official site — things can change.

💡 Tips to Maximize Your Chance

Here are some suggestions to make your scholarship application and admission strong:

  1. Apply early: many scholarship-linked admissions have early deadlines or fill up fast.

  2. Ensure credentials and transcripts are strong, with good grades and, relevant background.

  3. Demonstrate motivation and fit: in personal statements or when required in course applications, show why you chose Bradford and the programme.

  4. Check if there are additional criteria (some scholarships require certain subjects, research interests, or even female applicants).

  5. Keep proof of finances ready (tuition, living costs) so your enrolment goes smoothly.
