Scholarships and Waivers

Undergraduate to Postgraduate Waiver

Applicable to undergraduate students progressing to postgraduate studies in 2021

UCB students who achieve a first class Honours degree awarded by UCB in the previous academic year, will receive a discount on their tuition fees of £1200 (£865 in year 1, £335 in year 2). No application necessary (UK/EU students with pre-settled or settled status only).

No Application necessary. We will apply the discount at enrolment. Note; you can apply for a Postgraduate Loan - value £11,222.

PGCE Progression Fee Waiver

Home and EU students, ​with evidence of pre-settled status, who progress from a UCB BA/BSc(Hons) course onto the UCB PGCE course without a break in study, will receive a fee waiver £1200 (in 202​1/2​2). No specific application is necessary. UCB will review all PGCE programme applications and apply the fee waiver to any eligible student.

UCB EU Transition Award

Following the UK’s departure from the EU, the UK Government announced on 23 June 2020 that EU students commencing their studies in the academic year 2021/22 will be classified as international students. As such, EU students will no longer be eligible to pay UK fee status or have access to funding through the Student Loans Company.

At University College Birmingham, we would like to support our EU applicants through this transition, therefore, we are offering an automatic EU Transition Award to all eligible EU students who start their studies at UCB in September 2021 or February 2022.
