University of the Year Dean’s Scholarship

Other eligibility requirements

About this opportunity

Ulster University is celebrating being named the UK and Ireland University of the Year by investing in what matters most - you, our international students.

As part of our commitment to fostering global talent, we are delighted to offer the University of the Year Dean’s Scholarship for eligible international students.

Scholarship Value

If you’re an international student, you’ll automatically receive a £1,500 tuition fee discount - on top of our existing £2,000 International Scholarship.

That’s a total reduction of £3,500 towards your studies!

If you're applying to certain Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences programmes, you may be eligible for an enhanced £2,200 scholarship. This brings your total possible reduction to £4,200.

Eligibility criteria

You must be classified as an international, self-funding student paying the international tuition fee rate to qualify for this award.

You must also hold an offer for a full-time programme delivered on one of our campuses in Northern Ireland (Belfast, Coleraine or Derry~Londonderry), commencing in January 2026 and meet any academic and/or English language conditions as stated in your offer letter.

Students applying to our MBBS, part-time or eLearning programmes, or to programmes delivered at our branch campuses (London, Birmingham or Manchester) are not eligible for this award.

These combined scholarship awards apply to the first year of undergraduate study only and are not renewable for subsequent years.
