This scholarship is for students beginning their degrees in September 2026 only. 

Please note that this scholarship is only available to students assessed as self-funded overseas fee payers who are paying fees directly to University of Kent. 

Applicants are not eligible for this scholarship who:

  • have applied for a Masters which includes an integrated pre-Masters 
  • have applied for distance learning programmes 
  • have applied for a PCert or PDip programme 
  • are on short-term programmes 
  • have applied to Finance, Investment and Risk (Dual Award) MSc or Business Analytics (Dual Award) MSc

This award is not stackable unless the applicant is coming to us through a progression agreement in which case both the Kent International Scholarship (KBS) and progression discount can be awarded. Should you apply for a higher value scholarship and be successful, then you will receive the higher value award. The Kent International Scholarship (KBS) will then be retracted. 

This award is also open to international students who are normally domiciled in an eligible country, but who are currently resident in the UK for purposes of study.  

Further details

We are delighted to offer automatic scholarships of £3,000 to Kent Business School applicants  who accept their offer to study at the University of Kent, and who are domiciled in Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand or Vietnam. Applicants for other programmes are not eligible for this scholarship. Please instead refer to visit the Kent International Scholarship.

To be eligible for this scholarship, students must have applied for postgraduate taught, full-time programmes.  This is alongside our reduced Tuition fees, which could save you up to £4,000 in comparison to last year for KBS programmes starting in September 2026.

The scholarship will be applied to the tuition fees.
