The Think Big Postgraduate Terms & Conditions are as follows:
Scholarships and bursaries are valid for entry in academic year 2024/25 and cannot
be used for any other year of entry. If you wish to defer your entry to the University,
your awards will not be transferred.
Applicants must meet or exceed the entry requirements as stated in their formal offer
to study before 31 August 2024; accept their offer and pay any necessary deposit
before the deadline stated in their offer letter.
If you have been offered, or are offered, another University of Bristol scholarship
towards your tuition fees, you may only accept one scholarship. If you decide to
accept a different University scholarship other than Think Big, you must notify us
immediately.
If the amount of scholarship awarded is more than the cost of the tuition fees, the
tuition fees will be covered in full and any remainder will not be issued.
You are permitted to receive external tuition fee funding (e.g. from a scholarship
body, corporate or government sponsor), however the total amount of scholarship
funding (ie. Think Big award + external funding) cannot exceed the amount of your
tuition fees. Please notify the International Scholarships and Sponsors Team as soon
as you receive confirmation of any external funding, so that your fees can be
adjusted accordingly.
Your Think Big scholarship will be applied as a discount directly to your tuition fees.
Your fees will be adjusted accordingly at the time of your enrolment at the University.
No cash alternative is offered.
You are permitted to receive external living cost funding (e.g. from a scholarship
body, corporate or government sponsor), however if you are in receipt of a stipend
which is equal to or more than the UKRI minimum, then you will be ineligible to
receive a University of Bristol bursary. Please notify the International Scholarships
and Sponsors Team as soon as you receive confirmation of any external funding, so
that your funding can be adjusted accordingly.
Bursary awards are to be paid in the first year of study only and will not be paid in
any subsequent years.
You will need to open a UK bank account, into which your bursary funds will be paid
once enrolment has been completed.
Should you wish to change your programme whilst you are studying at the University,
please contact the International Scholarships and Sponsors Team to see if it will be
possible to update your tuition fee scholarship. We will try to accommodate requests
to amend tuition fee scholarships, but please be aware this cannot be guaranteed.
Your bursary is specific to your chosen programme and may not be transferred if you
choose to change your programme of study.
