Edge Hill University has a range of scholarships on offer to international students.
All full fee-paying international students applying for a course lasting at least one academic year will be considered for the award of scholarship. By applying for a course, an application for a scholarship will also automatically be made, with one of the following scholarships awarded once criteria are met:
International Excellence Scholarships
This is for students who can demonstrate academic excellence and a proficiency in English (normally equivalent of no less than IELTS 6.5) and is worth £1,000 towards your tuition fees. Successful students will be notified in their offer letter, with awards made at the University's discretion.
International Development Scholarships
This is for students who have studied in an emerging or developing country (as defined by the IMF) and wish to return to their own country of origin to contribute to the country's development. It is worth £1,000 towards your tuition fees. Successful students will be notified in their offer letter, with awards made at the University's discretion.
International Family Scholarships
This is for siblings of students who have studied/are studying at Edge Hill University, and is worth £1,000 towards your tuition fees. You must state the name of your sibling (brother or sister) when applying, as well as the course they completed or are registered for. Awards will be made automatically once the information has been confirmed.
Other Scholarships
For students already studying at Edge Hill, there are also two scholarships available:
International Achievement Scholarships
Worth £2,000, this is for students who display exceptional academic performance (average mark of no less than 70 per cent). Awards will be made towards tuition fees in the next year of study, as long as tuition and accommodation fees have been paid in full. These scholarships will be confirmed after the Assessment Board.
International Alumni Scholarships
This is for students who have successfully completed an Edge Hill University degree programme, are applying for another higher-level full-time degree course and is worth £1,500 towards tuition fees. Successful students will be notified in their offer letter, with awards made at the University's discretion.
Financial Support
Edge Hill University does not receive any funding from the UK Government for international students, and therefore such students are responsible for their fees in full.
Some countries may provide financial assistance to their students who choose to study overseas. You should contact your own government's education ministry to check this. The British Council can also provide advice on external sources of funding and sponsorship that you may be eligible to apply for.
Living Costs
You will also need to budget for your living expenses and books. It is much less expensive to live in the North West than London or South East England, but you should still budget £5,500-£6,000 per year for living expenses although this will vary from person to person.
Free Insurance
Free insurance covering health and possessions is available. Included within the free insurance package is coverage of personal effects, personal liability, personal injury and emergency medical treatment, while you live and travel within England, Scotland and Wales. It does not cover additional travel outside of these countries. It should be noted that medical care in the policy is provided by the UK National Health Service and not a private healthcare provider.
Pre-existing medical conditions, pregnancy and childbirth are not covered.
