What scholarships do we offer and how can these help you?

Living expenses at university will vary considerably according to your personal circumstances and lifestyle. You can view a rough guide to what you might expect to spend to live in reasonable comfort in London on our Cost of Living in London webpage.

Our department and college offer scholarships to assist you with your living costs. 

From the Department   

You do not need to apply for departmental scholarships, as our admissions tutor will determine suitability. If you qualify for a scholarship, you will be notified and invited to submit additional information in March. 

  • Departmental Scholarships include a fee waiver + £6000 p/a towards your living costs. Recipients must be from the U.K. 

  • Ceres Scholarships include £5000 p/a. Applicants must demonstrate an interest in the energy sector in their personal statements.
