De Montfort University is a dynamic organisation, formed from a diverse range of specialist institutions. The name of De Montfort University is associated with Simon De Montfort, Earl of Leicester, a distinguished figure in English history and widely credited with establishing the first parliament in 1265.

De Montfort University is committed to supporting international students to benefit from study in the UK. For courses starting in September 2008, De Montfort University’s Vice Chancellor is delighted to offer scholarships of £2000 each.
The scholarships are for £2000 equivalent to a reduction of around 20% on the full tuition fees, and will be paid towards the full tuition fees of overseas-status students from any country in the world who wish to study any of the following types of courses at De Montfort University, Leicester:
• Full-time undergraduate degrees (BA/BSc) in any subject
• Full-time Postgraduate Diplomas and Masters courses (PGDip/MA/MSc/MBA/LLM) in any subject
• Full-time MPhil/PhD research degrees in any subject

The Vice Chancellor’s International Scholarships are available for courses starting in September 2008 only (or between September 2008 and June 2009 for MPhil/PhD research degrees).
The £2000 scholarship will be made as a one-off payment and will be deducted from the full tuition fee at the beginning of the first (or only) year of study.

Students progressing to De Montfort University through one of our established progression schemes or collaborative partnerships can also apply for these scholarships if they wish to.
Only overseas status students are eligible to apply.

We will award up to 16 x £2000 scholarships for the above courses starting in September 2008. There will be a limited number of scholarships awarded by Faculty:
• Faculty of Art and Design: up to 3 scholarships
• Faculty of Business and Law: up to 3 scholarships
• Faculty of Computing Sciences and Engineering: up to 5 scholarships
• Faculty of Health and Life Science: up to 2 scholarships
• Faculty of Humanities: up to 3 scholarships

Please note that a few of our courses are not included in this scholarship scheme.

Scholarships will be awarded based on the submission of a 500 word essay, to be written by the applicant and assessed by a panel of De Montfort University representatives (each Faculty will have its own panel).
