The University of Birmingham (UoB) today announced a series of scholarships for Indian students worth more than £1 million. Through these scholarships, the varsity aims to support Indian students with strong academic and extracurricular records to study at the university.
Undergraduate and graduate scholarships for the 2024–2025 academic year are divided into two categories: merit-based and automatic awards for particular academic fields. Business, computer science, the arts, law, geography, earth science, environmental sciences, and physical and environmental sciences are some of these fields.
The University of Birmingham is a member of the esteemed Russell Group of UK universities and is ranked in the top 100 universities in the world.
“These scholarships demonstrate both the importance that Indian students have in our global student community and our commitment to India as a strategic partner,” said Professor Robin Mason, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International) at the University of Birmingham. With a long and distinguished history, the University of Birmingham is a global civic university connected to India. We are excited to welcome the upcoming class of Indian students to our stunning, historically significant campus in Birmingham.
