The scholarship fund, of up to £9.2 million, aims to further support the University of Bath in attracting top talent from around the world to benefit from its world-class education, outstanding student experience and excellent employability prospects.
With a growing global reputation for research and education excellence, ranking in the top ten within the UK and 132nd in the QS World University Rankings, these schemes further demonstrate the University’s commitment to attracting the best globally, as it moves into its 60th anniversary year in 2026.
Professor Manuel Barcia, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Global Engagement, said: “These schemes will help the University of Bath to continue to attract a truly diverse and international student body, something which I believe is fundamental to delivering a world class education, as in my experience students don't just learn from our faculty, they also learn from each other.
“This multimillion-pound global scholarship fund reinforces Bath's commitment to fostering cross-cultural exchange which is essential preparation for our graduates who go on to enjoy excellent employability prospects.”
The scholarship fund includes two of the following schemes:
Up to 300 Bath International Excellence Scholarships of £24,000 reduction in fees over three years will be available for high achieving international undergraduate students.
Up to 250 Bath Global Excellence Scholarships worth £10,000 for high achieving international postgraduate students joining a full-time taught master's course in September 2026.
