International Citizens of Change Scholarship

To be considered, you need to create a short video (no more than two minutes) which answers these three questions:

1. What do you want to achieve after university?
2. How will your chosen degree help you achieve this?
3. How will you contribute to the University community while you're here?

Videos should be submitted as a link to Google Drive, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Wechat Video or Douyin in the section indicated in the application form. We're not looking for film-making or acting skills, but instead how you approach and answer the questions.

You don't need to be in the video yourself if you don't want to be. Alongside the video submission, we will also take into consideration your Personal Statement and any extracurricular activities you have highlighted in the application form.
