At Leeds Arts University we value the diversity, different perspectives and enrichment our international students bring to our community. To recognise this, we are delighted to offer a range of scholarships to assist with the cost of studying in the UK. Our scholarships are designed to reward talent and quality of application. Scholarships are awarded throughout the application process on the basis of academic merit and the strength of the portfolio/audition.
International Vice Chancellor’s Scholarships
We have a wide range of scholarships, normally awarded as a tuition fee discount for the first year of the course. Our scholarships start from £2,000 and are available to undergraduate and postgraduate students. Scholarships will be awarded based on academic merit, the strength of your application, your personal statement and if applicable, the quality of your portfolio/audition.
Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis, so early application for a place at the University is advised.
Scholarships are awarded as part of the admissions process – there is no need for a separate application.
