Access to Postgraduate Study Scholarship 2025–26

Birkbeck offers the Access to Postgraduate Study Scholarship to support students facing financial, social, or structural barriers to postgraduate education. The scholarship provides a non-repayable grant toward tuition fees for eligible students starting a master's degree in the 2025–26 academic year. A Foundation Year Success Bursary is also available to help with the transition from Foundation Year to undergraduate study.

Non-repayable grant toward tuition; donor communications involvement for some recipients.

Applicants must be accepted onto a Birkbeck master's degree starting in 2025–26 and have arrangements to fund the remainder of their studies; priority may be given to those meeting additional criteria.
