Furthermore, BU is recognized for its work in the media industry. The university is also one of the UK’s leading modern universities. Their teaching methods have produced forward-thinking graduates who are both flexible and successful in their respective fields. ## International Student Postgraduate Scholarships at BU While international students generally pay different fees than students in the UK, a broad range of financial support is also available to help offset costs and back foreign students who are just starting out professionally. However, tuition fees to be paid for a postgraduate course will vary depending on the subject area the scholar will be studying and the type of postgraduate study they will undertake. The following scholarships are available for international students looking to start their courses in **September 2021** or **January 2022**: ### BU Academic Excellence Scholarship This opportunity provides a £3,500 tuition fee reduction fee for international students. As a requirement, applicants are expected to have a minimum of an upper second-class Honours degree from a UK university or [equivalent](https://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/sites/default/files/asset/document/pg-aes-equivalencies-international-2021-22-v2.pdf). ### BU Music Scholarship For this postgraduate scholarship, foreign students must be able to demonstrate that they are talented musicians or vocalists. In addition, they have to prove that they have been involved in ensemble activity. The scholarship award is worth £600. ![](https://i0.wp.com/scholarshipsforafricans.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/bournemouth-university.jpg?resize=800%2C533&ssl=1)International students make up almost one-fourth of the entire student population at BU. \| **Photo credits: [Bournemouth University](https://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/)** ### BU Sport Scholarship Aimed at high-performing sportspeople with the desire to continue to develop, the BU Sport Scholarship will set aside an amount of £500 to £5,000. ### Chevening Scholarship Scheme This external program in partnership with the Chevening Scholarship program will include a tuition fee waiver and other allowances.
