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.

Who awards it

Bournemouth University — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.

how_to_reg

How you are considered

Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.

What it covers

£3,000 – £5,000 Tuition Discount. This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.

Where we come in

We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?

Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
