The Vice-Chancellor’s International Merit Award
The Vice Chancellor’s International Merit Award recognises outstanding academic achievement of students obtaining grades equivalent to AAB and above at UK A-level (approximately 75% or above in other international school leaving certificates) and comprises an award of £2,000 for each academic year.
The Global Success Scholarship
The second award, The Global Success Scholarship, is worth up to £4,000 and awarded to international students to provide them a springboard to kickstart their global career at LSBU, meaning the practical career-focussed courses provide even greater value.
