The University of Birmingham has unveiled an impressive initiative, announcing scholarships valued at over £1 million to support Indian students in their academic pursuits at the institution.

These scholarships, available for the 2024–25 academic year, encompass undergraduate and postgraduate courses, offering merit-based and automatic awards across various academic fields. From Business and Computer Science to Arts, Law, Environmental and Physical Sciences, Geography, Earth, and Environmental Sciences, these scholarships aim to assist high-achieving students in these areas.

Renowned globally and a proud member of the esteemed Russell Group of UK universities, the UoB is committed to fostering academic excellence and nurturing global talent.

Professor Robin Mason, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International) at the University of Birmingham, emphasized, “These scholarships underline the importance of Indian students in our global academic community and reaffirm our strong commitment to India as a strategic partner. With our enduring historical connections, we eagerly anticipate welcoming the next cohort of Indian students to our esteemed Birmingham campus.”

India holds a significant position among the UK's international student community, and statistics till June 2023 showed that Indian students received nearly 143,000 study visas.

These scholarship offerings include 20 outstanding achievement scholarships for undergraduate students (£4,000 each), 15 India Chancellor Scholarships for postgraduate students (£2,000 each), and unlimited automatic scholarships (£2,000 each) under the Global Masters Scholarships scheme. Additionally, several other scholarships tailored specifically for Indian students have been announced.
