Swansea University Scholarships for International Students

Swansea University offers postgraduate scholarship and bursary opportunities for international students. These opportunities are open to new international, self-funding students enrolling on a postgraduate taught course or a postgraduate research programme, including EU students eligible for international fee status. Bursary and scholarship eligibility can differ, with full guidance and terms and conditions provided for each.

International Excellence Scholarships are available to overseas students who have demonstrated academic excellence or show potential to do so during their time at Swansea University. These are awarded for postgraduate study and are processed through a scholarship application guidance route, with eligibility differences across scholarships.

Bursaries are awarded automatically to eligible applicants, so no separate application is required. For scholarships, applications must be submitted according to the published guidance and terms and conditions for each scholarship.

For International Excellence Scholarships, the stated award is a discount on tuition fees worth up to £5,000. The page provides an application deadline and confirms that awards are applied as a tuition-fee discount rather than listing a stipend or other ongoing support or post-study obligation.
