The University of Birmingham recently launched a fully-funded scholarship- Lord Karan Bilimoria for Indian students applying for PG study programmes/courses at the university’s campuses in Birmingham & Dubai. The scholarship contains a full tuition fee release and accommodation expenses up to the duration of the programme for the winner. Four runner-ups will be exempted from the tuition fee of 5,000 pounds (Rs 5 lakh approximately).

According to the official university release, the candidates must have an outstanding academic record and should be able to display that they have overcome challenging events. They must also have creative, unique, and innovative ideas in order to overcome the complicated challenges faced by both the United Kingdom and India. Apart from this, successful applicants who achieve the final round will be asked to present a three-minute video answering two key questions:

1. What challenges have you overcome in life?

2. What innovation would you propose to solve a challenge faced by the United Kingdom and India?

An official statement said the scholarship is only open to Indian students applying for PG study programmes at the University’s campuses in Birmingham & Dubai. Candidates should have valid approval of the study from the University of Birmingham.

While launching the scholarship, Lord Bilimoria, Chancellor of the University of Birmingham, said I am hugely proud of the University of Birmingham’s education collaborations in India and pleased to introduce this exceptional opportunity to promote outstanding individuals to join us – whether at our new campus in Dubai or our beautiful historic campus in Birmingham.
