Honours Year Scholarship

Our undergraduate tuition fees for students from England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland are £9,535 per year. No-one has to pay this up front, and tuition fee loans are available through your relevant national funding body to meet the costs.

The good news is that if, having entered in Year 1 and progressed successfully through Years 2 and 3, students from England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland will then be awarded a scholarship covering the full cost of the fees for their Honours year of study.

That's £9,535 less in tuition fee loans compared with equivalent length courses in universities in England and Wales. No application is needed, and the Honours Scholarships will be automatically applied in your fourth year of study. Fees may be subject to revision, in line with higher education funding policy.

Students starting in September 2025 who receive this scholarship are also eligible for the Stirling Welcome Scholarship, which is a £1,000 cash award in Year 1 allocated to all students from England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.

And if you're interested in taking advantage of our five-star facilities during your studies, you're in luck. As a new undergraduate student at the University of Stirling, you'll be prioritised for accommodation as long as your application is submitted by the advertised date.
