Following the UK's departure from the European Union, we continue to support new EU/EEA and other eligible international students by offering a substantial fee-reduction.
For students starting their undergraduate course with us at level 3 (Foundation) or level 4 (first year), who are accepted on their programme based solely on an eligible EU qualification, we will award a tuition fee reduction of £4,500 on the first year of your studies. Students will be liable for full fees in subsequent years of study.
It is important to note that eligibility for this award is not based on nationality – all students who meet the criteria will receive the award, regardless of nationality – and so students undertaking an EU qualification in an international school outside of Europe may also be eligible.
To receive the award, applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Classify as International/Overseas for fees purposes
- Commence a full-time undergraduate level course with us in September at level 3 (Foundation) or level 4 (first year). Students entering at level 5 or level 6 are not eligible
- Enter solely on the basis of an eligible EU qualification. See a list of eligible qualifications. Please note that students entering via a mix of EU and non-EU qualifications would not be eligible
Recipients of the EU Qualifications Welcome Awards are not eligible to apply for a second University of Westminster scholarship.
Application process
Students do not need to apply for the EU Qualifications Welcome Awards. We will assess applicants’ eligibility at the confirmation stage when we receive their grades. If you are already an unconditional offer holder, you do not need to inform us at this stage, as we will be reviewing all eligible applications. The revised fee will not be reflected on your offer letter, however, but will show on your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
