(RUK) Academic Excellence Bursary

Benefit

You get about EUR 3,500 (£3,000) per year off your tuition fees at the University of Dundee in Scotland. You receive it for the whole length of your full-time Bachelor's degree. It rewards students who start their first degree in September 2026 with strong entry grades. Note that this is a fee reduction, not a cash payment: it lowers what you owe rather than paying you a monthly amount.

Eligibility

• Where you live: You live in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. The university must classify you as a Rest of UK (RUK) fee-paying student. Your offer letter confirms this fee status.
• Level of study: This is your first Bachelor's degree, and you enrol full time at Dundee in September 2026.
• Field of study: Any subject except Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences.
• Grades: You have AAB or better at A-Level. Other qualifications only count if they match the university's official equivalency tables.

How to apply

There is no separate application. You submit your final results as proof that you meet the criteria, and the admissions team checks them before confirming the award. Predicted grades are not enough. The closing date is Friday 28 August 2026 at 23:59 UK time.

How realistic are your chances?

This bursary follows fixed rules rather than a contest. If you have RUK fee status, start your first Dundee degree in an eligible subject and hold AAB or better, you should qualify. There is no ranking against other applicants, so the main risk is missing the grade threshold or picking an excluded subject. Check that your qualifications match the accepted list and submit your final results on time.
