Student services

We understand how hard it can be to finance studying for a degree at an international university, so to help we have a wide variety of undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships available for our students. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a high achiever or an aspiring future industry leader - there is bound to be something you can apply for.

We could tell you we've got state-of-the-art facilities, it's true, we do. But we'd rather show you. We’d love to meet you at an open day, however we understand that this often isn’t possible for international students, which is why we’ve launched our very own international virtual open day.
