International Student Scholarship

Leeds Beckett University (LBU) is deeply committed to building a diverse global classroom, and the International Student Scholarship is a cornerstone of this mission. Specifically designed to assist students from key international markets, such as Bangladesh, this award significantly reduces the initial cost of entry into higher education in the United Kingdom. Unlike competitive awards that depend on limited quotas, this is an automatic entitlement for any student meeting the residency and self-funding criteria. It is intended to help Bangladeshi students bridge the gap between their academic ambitions and the financial realities of international study.

By providing a substantial £3,000 reduction, LBU ensures that its world-class facilities and professional-focused curriculum remain accessible. The scholarship is applied directly to the tuition fee invoice, which also helps reduce the 50% deposit required for the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). This streamlined financial support allows students to focus more on their academic preparation and less on complex funding applications.

• Direct Tuition Discount: An automatic £3,000 deduction from the first year of tuition fees.
• Guaranteed Funding: No selection process or competition; if you meet the criteria, you receive the award.
• CAS Deposit Relief: Lowering the total fee liability reduces the 50% deposit amount required for your visa support.
• Simplified Process: Removes the stress of writing extra essays or submitting additional scholarship forms.

To be eligible, a candidate must:

• assessed as an Overseas fee payer (international residency status).
• a citizen of Bangladesh (or other eligible international countries).
• a self-funded student (not receiving full funding from a government or employer).
• entering that level of study for the first time (not repeating a Master's year).
• enrolled in a full-time taught Master's course (MA, MSc, MBA, etc.).

Level: Postgraduate Taught (Master's level MA, MSc, MBA, etc.).

Fields of Study: Available across a wide range of subjects, including Business, Engineering, Law, and Social Sciences.

Exclusions: Distance learning or part-time courses.

• Research degrees (PhD, MRes, DBA).
• PGDip or PGCert programs.
• Any year where the student is on an industry placement.
