The Faculty of Engineering and Informatics (FoEI) at the University of Bradford has unveiled a substantial scholarship aimed at supporting international students.
The scholarship, for the Applied Artificial Intelligence BSc program, represents a significant opportunity for prospective students around the globe.
According to the University of Bradford, international students will be granted a scholarship at a value of 50% of the advertised tuition fee – equivalent to £11,645.
This means that as of the 2024/25 academic year, students will only need to pay £11,645 per year in tuition fees.
Scholarship Details and Application
The institution stated through its announcement, that the discounted fee of £11,645 is a substantial reduction from the standard tuition cost; encouraging prospective students that this is the university’s commitment to making higher education more accessible.
The scholarship is open to students from a wide range of countries, including; Nigeria, Afghanistan, Canada, Germany, India, and the United States, among others.
The scholarship automatically applies upon enrolment, so students do not need to submit a separate application.
This initiative is designed to ease the financial burden on students and enable them to focus on their studies. However, the university expects scholarship recipients to remain engaged with their coursework, including regular attendance and timely submission of assignments. Failure to meet these expectations could result in the withdrawal of the scholarship and a potential requirement to repay the awarded amount.
