Scholarships/sponsorships
Residence abroad support
We offer dedicated financial support packages of up to £2,000 for residence abroad students, based on household income.
You will be automatically assessed for this, based on your Student Finance financial assessment - you just need to make sure you apply for a financial assessment in the academic year in which your residence abroad will take place.
You may be eligible for this scholarship if you fulfill the following conditions:
- your qualifications were achieved at a state-funded school in the UK;
- your total household income does not exceed £60,000 (as verified by the Student Loan Company);
- you achieve high marks in your A-levels (or equivalent qualifications), usually AAB or above;
- you apply to (and remain on) either a single honours Language course, or a dual-language course.
Awards will be made according to a sliding scale, benefitting those who have achieved the highest marks relative to backgrounds.
You will be automatically assessed for this after you have registered on your degree.
You simply need to make sure you allow the University access to your records when applying for your student lLoan (we cannot otherwise assess your eligibility).
