Scholarships for International students

University of Nottingham Ningbo China offers various scholarships to students to reward academic excellence and promote diversity. Over 40% of our postgraduate students were awarded scholarships for their study at UNNC. Once enrolled, approximately 32.5% of our current students are eligible for additional merit and/or performance based scholarships and awards.

One student may apply for multiple scholarships but will only be eligible to receive one entry based scholarship award (including the Family scholarship) and one progresion based award during his/her academic study at UNNC.
