Northumbria University - Academic Scholarship for Iran, Middle East

Northumbria University Academic Scholarship for Iran and the Middle East

You will receive a tuition-fee discount of about EUR 2,300 (£2,000) per year full-time place at Northumbria University in Newcastle, UK, for up to 48 months (4 years). The amount depends on your grades: if your results are very good, you will receive the full scholarship amount; if your grades are slightly lower, you will receive approximately 1,750 (£1,500) euros per year. Northumbria University is one of the larger British universities and offers this merit-based scholarship to students from Iran and across the Middle East.

Who can apply

• Where you come from: You live in Iran or another country in the Middle East and pay international (overseas) tuition fees.
• Where you study: You will be starting your full-time degree course at Northumbria University in Newcastle.
• Level: Open to Bachelor’s, Master’s and research degree programmes.
• Field of study: Open to all subjects.
• Grades: You achieved very good grades in your most recent degree. To start a Master’s degree, you need a Bachelor’s degree with a mark of at least 13/20 (UK 2:2) for the lower degree or 15/20 (UK 2:1) for a full degree. To start a Bachelor’s degree, you need a school-leaving certificate with a grade of around 14/20.
• Funding: You are funding your studies yourself and have no financial sponsor.

How to apply

You do not need to submit a separate application. When you apply for a degree programme at Northumbria University, eligible students are automatically considered for funding, and the funding will be detailed in your offer letter.

How realistic are your chances?

This scholarship is aimed exclusively at self-funded students from Iran and the Middle East, meaning there are fewer applicants competing for it than for open international scholarships. If you pay the tuition fees for international students, are studying full-time and have good grades, your chances are good. There are no additional application steps that might stand in your way.
