Queen's University Belfast International Scholarships

Queen's University Belfast offers prestigious international scholarships providing up to 50% reduction on tuition fees for new international students commencing full-time undergraduate or postgraduate programmes in the 2026/27 academic year. These competitive awards, including the flagship Vice Chancellor's International Attainment Scholarships, support exceptionally talented students from around the world. The scholarships cover tuition fee reductions, with postgraduate taught awards up to 2 years and undergraduate up to 4 years, depending on the programme duration. Four awards are available in key categories, applied for via online form and video submission after receiving a firm course offer.

A range of specific scholarships exist under this umbrella, such as the Vice Chancellor's for eligible PGT programmes like MSc Accounting, MBA, and others, and similar for undergraduate. Other awards like Early Confirmation (£1500), regional scholarships (e.g., South Asia), and automatic merit-based reductions are also available. Postgraduate research funding includes £7.7 million in invested scholarships with 175 full-funded PhD opportunities. Students must be self-funded international fee-payers (non-EU/GB/NI/ROI in some cases).

Applications require firm acceptance of an offer (wait 24 hours), submission of a 2-minute video on motivations and career aspirations, and online form. Decisions are competitive, with no feedback provided. Awards are non-transferable, non-deferrable, and may be combined with select other funding like Early Confirmation Award.
