Award Description

The University of Birmingham is pleased to announce a number of scholarships of £10,000 for students from Thailand applying for entry to a postgraduate programme at the University starting September 2025.

These are joint awards with our local representatives who will be invited to send nominations of the students to the University based on their academic merit. They are listed below in alphabetical order.

The scholarships will be awarded to the highest performing students starting their University of Birmingham programme in the 2025/2026 academic year.

Value of Award

The scholarship is £10,000 towards tuition fees of a full-time postgraduate degree programme at the University of Birmingham UK campus, starting September 2025.

Eligibility Criteria

Students who are applying for government scholarships are still able to apply for our awards, but if the student does receive a full government scholarship or alternative scholarship award then they are no longer eligible for this scholarship.

This award can be combined with the 125th Anniversary Scholarships, meaning successful and eligible recipients will receive a total of £15,000 scholarships. If successful recipients are applying to MSc Management, MSc Marketing and MSc International Business which are not eligible for the 125th Anniversary Scholarships, they will only be eligible for the Chancellor’s scholarships of £10,000.

In order to be eligible, candidates must:

  • You should have an excellent academic background. Candidates should have or be expecting a 2.1 in a bachelor's degree or equivalent.
  • Have received an offer for a full-time postgraduate programme starting September 2025. The student must be entering the first year of postgraduate programme based at Birmingham’s UK campus.
  • Meet the academic conditions of their offer to the programme.
  • Be classed as domiciled in Thailand.
  • Be classed by the University as an overseas fee payer for tuition fee purposes and be able to pay the outstanding tuition fees not covered by the scholarship.
  • Have sufficient funds to cover the full cost of living at the University of Birmingham, plus any visa/travel expenses associated with studying in the UK.
  • Start their studies at the University in September 2025 (the scholarship award may not be deferred).
  • Students seeking to study on a course solely delivered as a ‘distance learning’ programme are not eligible for this scholarship.
  • Postgraduate programmes including MBA, MPhil, MRes, PhD, PGDip and PGCert programmes are not eligible.
  • Be registered with and have their postgraduate study application attached to one of our local representatives listed below in alphabetical order.
  • Have paid their £3,000 deposit by the deadline stated in their offer letter from the Admissions Office and accepted the offer before the scholarship deadline 31st May 2025.
  • Upon enrolment in September 2025, pay their net tuition fees for the academic year by 1 November, immediately following enrolment.
  • If a scholarship recipient withdraws from their academic programme of study at the University the scholarship will also be fully withdrawn, and the student will be required to pay any tuition fees owed. The date of the withdrawal (as reported to Taught Student Administration) and the type of programme will determine the amount of tuition fee that will be owed.
