Awards for international students

Middlesex University has a number of Regional Awards available to all potential undergraduate and postgraduate international students, worth £1000. In addition you may also be eligible for a further International Merit Award which is awarded on criteria such as academic merit. In both cases, successful candidates will have the award amount deducted from their tuition fees when they enrol. To find out more contact your nearest Middlesex University regional office. You must apply and receive confirmation of an award before the commencement of your studies.

Many of our other scholarships are also open to international students as well as UK students - find out more

Work while you study

You may be thinking of working part time in the UK to help support yourself financially. If you are on a full time course of study and have a student visa stamped in your passport, you are entitled to work up to 20 hours a week during term time and full time during holidays and vacations. Your eligibility to work will depend on the stamp or sticker that you have in your passport.  You will also need to ensure you have a National Insurance number in order to work.
