Bournemouth University International Scholarship
Bournemouth University's International Scholarship is a tuition discount of £3,000 (undergraduate) or £5,000 (postgraduate taught) automatically applied to most overseas offer holders. Bournemouth is particularly well-known for media production, animation, computer animation, journalism, and tourism management — and is a popular practical choice for Sri Lankan students looking for a south-coast UK base with strong industry placements. The scholarship requires no separate application; the discount is applied to your tuition invoice.
