University of Sheffield announces £7,000 tuition fee discount for international postgraduate students

The University of Sheffield has introduced the International Postgraduate Scholarship 2027, providing eligible international students with a £7,000 reduction in tuition fees for postgraduate taught programmes commencing in September 2027. This scholarship will be automatically granted to suitable applicants, without the need for a separate application.

To qualify, students must accept their University of Sheffield offer by July 6, 2027, at 4pm UK time. Only postgraduate taught offer holders from specific countries, including India, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, Nigeria, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Türkiye, and Vietnam, are eligible. Applicants must be permanent residents or have lived in one of these countries for the past three years, be self-funded, and classified as overseas students for tuition fee purposes.

The scholarship covers full-time postgraduate taught courses but excludes postgraduate diplomas, certificates, online courses, Erasmus Mundus programmes, and courses with higher clinical fees. It cannot be combined with other University scholarships or discounts, except for specific cases. Students from the University of Sheffield International College are also eligible, provided they meet all other conditions.

The award cannot be deferred to future years, and students from two-year master's programmes will receive the £7,000 scholarship in their second year if they successfully complete the first year.
