Selection Process

You will automatically be awarded the appropriate funding as long as you meet our eligibility criteria as set out in the terms and conditions for your intake.

Applicants who do not meet their offer conditions and original admissions criteria (where applicable) will not be eligible for the Vice-Chancellor’s International Scholarship, even if they are accepted into the University.

Scholarship eligibility is separate from admission eligibility. To qualify for the Vice-Chancellor’s International Scholarship, you must achieve the published minimum academic entry requirements for your chosen programme exactly as stated on the course pages of our website, at the time of your application.

If you are offered a place at Cardiff University with lower grades or alternative qualifications than those published (for example, if the published minimum requirement is a CGPA of 60% but you are accepted with a CGPA of 58%), you will hold an offer to study but you will not be eligible for the Vice-Chancellor’s International Scholarship.

Cardiff University reserves the right to determine whether the entry conditions of your offer meet the published minimum entry requirements for scholarship purposes.
