for University of Nottingham Scholarships?

The application process is different for each scholarship.

for the International Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship?

• Choose an eligible undergraduate programme at the University of Nottingham and check its academic and English-language requirements.
• Apply for undergraduate admission through UCAS.
• Submit the academic qualifications and other documents required for your course.
• Achieve AAA grades or the international equivalent and meet all conditions attached to your Nottingham offer.
• Enrol at the University of Nottingham.

No separate scholarship application is required. If you satisfy the scholarship criteria, Nottingham automatically awards the £5,000 tuition fee reduction.

for the Developing Solutions Master’s Scholarship?

• Choose an eligible full-time master’s or MRes programme in the Faculty of Engineering, Medicine and Health Sciences, Science, or Social Sciences.
• Apply for admission to the University of Nottingham and obtain an offer before submitting your scholarship application.
• Once you receive an offer, sign in to NottinghamHub and open the scholarships section of the application system.

Applicants holding an MRes offer may need to contact the University scholarship team for separate application instructions.

• Complete the Developing Solutions Scholarship application.

Your answers should clearly explain

The development challenge you want to address

Why that challenge matters in your home country

The solution you intend to develop

How your Nottingham course will provide the knowledge or skills required

The practical impact you expect your work to have after graduation

The application uses strict word limits, so your answers should be specific rather than trying to cover several unrelated problems.

• Submit the scholarship application before the published 2027 deadline.

You do not normally need to accept your Nottingham offer before applying for the scholarship, although the University will only award the scholarship to a successful applicant who subsequently accepts their study offer.

for the Chevening Scholarship?

• Check that you meet the official Chevening eligibility requirements.
• Choose three eligible one-year taught master’s programmes in the UK. You can select a University of Nottingham master’s programme as one or more of your choices.
• Submit your Chevening application through the official online application system by October 6, 2026.

• Apply separately for admission to the University of Nottingham. A Chevening application does not automatically create a Nottingham university application.
• If shortlisted, upload the required documents and attend your Chevening interview.
• If selected, obtain at least one qualifying university offer and submit it through the Chevening system by the July 2027 offer deadline.
