Vice-Chancellor's Excellence in Health Scholarship

Scholarships will be awarded to students based on the scores obtained during the academic interview for their programme. In the event of tied scoring, the scholarship panel will award scholarships on the basis of interview scores and prior academic achievement. All scholarship applications will be assessed equally and fairly by a scholarship panel, comprising University of Suffolk staff, who will score candidates against agreed criteria.

The University of Suffolk Vice-Chancellor's Excellence in Health Scholarship is a new and exciting scheme to reward exceptional international applicants who have a strong track record of academic achievement and show a commitment to having a transformative impact both during their studies and after graduation. This scheme is aimed at students intending to pursue one of our eligible professional health degrees.

We will be awarding fifty (50) Vice-Chancellor's Excellence in Health Scholarships of £4,000 value each in the 2025/26 academic year.
