About the University of Birmingham and Scholarship
The University of Birmingham, sometimes known as Birmingham University, is a public research institution in Birmingham, England. It received its royal charter in 1900, succeeding Sir Josiah Mason’s Mason Science College (1875) and Queen’s College, Birmingham (1825), becoming the first civic or “red brick” university in England to do so. It was also the first English unitary university. It is a founder member of Universitas 21, a worldwide network of research institutions, as well as the Russell Group, a group of British research universities.
The student body in 2019–20 is the seventh largest in the UK (out of 169), with 23,155 undergraduate and 12,605 postgraduate students. The university’s annual income for 2021–2022 was £869.8 million, of which £215.0 million came from grants and contracts for research, with an expenditure of £1.02 billion. The University of Birmingham improved its grade point average from equal to 31st in the previous REF in 2014 to equal 13th out of 129 institutions in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework.
The institution provides admission to 79.2% of applicants, which ranks eighth highest in the Russell Group. In the 2016–17 academic year, the institution had a domicile distribution of 76:5:18 UK, EU, and non–EU students, with a female-to-male ratio of 56:44.
To remove financial barriers for students from a variety of countries who are contemplating attending the University, the University of Birmingham is providing a significant Global Masters Scholarship for overseas students.
This grant, which has a value of £2,000 per scholarship, is open to all overseas students from several nations who wish to pursue taught Masters degrees at Birmingham in the academic year 2023–2024. This sum will be subtracted from the total amount of tuition fees owed by eligible scholars who complete the requirements.
