The University of Birmingham is Offering Scholarship for Indians

The University of Birmingham is offering scholarships for Indian students to celebrate its 125 Years of Excellence. These scholarships are available for postgraduate taught (PGT) Master’s programs starting in September 2025, with funding amounts ranging from £4,000 (approximately Rs 4,21,397) to £5,000 (approximately Rs 5,26,747).

In order to be eligible for the scholarship as mentioned on the website of the University of Birmingham, candidates must:

• Have received an offer and selected the University of Birmingham as their firm choice for a full-time postgraduate programme starting September 2025. The student must be entering the first year of a postgraduate programme based at Birmingham’s UK campus.
• Meet the academic conditions of their offer to the programme.
• Be classified as domiciled in India.
• Be classified by the university as an overseas fee payer for tuition fee purposes and be able to pay the outstanding tuition fees not covered by the scholarship.
• Have paid their £3,000 deposit by the deadline stated in their offer letter from the Admissions Office.
• Have sufficient funds to cover the full cost of living at the University of Birmingham, plus any visa/travel expenses associated with studying in the UK.

Additional Scholarship Conditions

• Successful recipients of the scholarships must have completed online registration and be ‘Normally Registered’ by 3 October (23:59 UK time/GMT+1). If this is not the case, the university will withdraw the scholarship.
• If a scholarship recipient withdraws from their academic programme of study at the university, the scholarship will also be fully withdrawn, and the student will be required to pay any tuition fees owed. The date of the withdrawal (as reported to Taught Student Administration) and the type of programme will determine the amount of tuition fee that will be owed.
• If a scholarship recipient decides to defer their programme start date to September, they will no longer be eligible as the scholarship is only available for programmes starting in September 2025.
• Students seeking to study on a course solely delivered as a ‘distance learning’ programme are not eligible for this scholarship.
• Undergraduate programmes including the MBChB, MEng, MSci, and MPharm are not eligible.
• Postgraduate programmes including MPhil, MRes, MMus, and MLit are not eligible. PGDip and PGCert programmes are also not eligible.
• In accepting and securing this scholarship, awardees are expected to support the university, to a reasonable extent and for a reasonable period of time, by providing profiles, testimonials, and engaging in ambassadorial activities if requested by the university.

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 the website of the University of Birmingham regularly for updates.
