Selection process: 

These awards are designed to reward applicants who have been offered a place to study with UEA and who can clearly and concisely explain how studying here at UEA will help them to make an outstanding contribution to their chosen field of study.​

Applications to our 2024 Global Excellence Scheme are to be submitted via video. We would like you to film your response to the following question: How will your experience at UEA help you to develop your knowledge and skills for the future?

Consider:

  • Skills gained from your course

  • The wider opportunities available as an international student at UEA

Submissions should be .mp4 format, filmed in standard definition (not HD or UHD) and no longer than 2 minutes in length.

This is an opportunity to go beyond your personal statement, mention UEA specifically and tell us why UEA is the right university for you.

We would encourage you to submit your scholarship application as soon as you feel it is ready. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, meaning that the sooner you apply, the sooner you will find out whether you have been successful.

When applying for this scholarship, you must already be in possession of a conditional or unconditional offer for an undergraduate degree course starting at UEA in September 2024. Your offer should state that you are an international fee-paying  student.

Applicants in receipt of another UEA scholarship or award should note that scholarships are exclusive.  In a situation where a candidate is offered multiple awards,  the greater amount will be offered.

Current edition: OPEN: Until April 30th, 2024.
