Academic Achievement Scholarships (UK/EU students)

The Department of Computer Science is offering a number of Academic Achievement Scholarships to UK and EU students entering in 2018.

Scholarships of £1,000 will be awarded as a one-off payment in recognition of academic excellence to students starting on an undergraduate honours degree programme within the Department of Computer Science in 2018. Students will receive a further £1000 upon successful attainment of a 70% average at the end of the first year.

The £1000 scholarship will be paid automatically in October 2018. You do not need to apply. The £1000 payment will be made in October 2019 following confirmation of your first year grade average.

To be eligible for an academic achievement scholarship you must:

• Attain A level grades of A*A*A (or above), or equivalent, including an A* in Mathematics. 
• Have made The University of Sheffield your first (firm) choice in the UCAS application process
• Commence your undergraduate studies in the Department of Computer Science in 2018.
• Be from the UK or EU (not be classed as an international student for tuition fees purposes)

Please contact our admissions team for further information.

Computer Science Excellence Scholarship

We are offering a number of scholarship awards to international, undergraduate students with established and continued academic excellence.
The scholarship will be awarded to international undergraduate students who exceed the academic conditions of our standard UCAS offer. Candidates who attain A level grades of A*A*A or above (equivalent performance in alternative qualifications may also be considered) will receive the Excellence Scholarship.

To be eligible for an Excellence Scholarship you must:

• make The University of Sheffield your first (firm) choice in the UCAS application process for 2018 entry
• be an undergraduate student
• be classed as an international student for tuition fee purposes
• be taking all prerequisite subjects for your selected degree

We will offer the scholarship in the form of a cash bursary at the start of your course should you be eligible. The scholarship amount is depended on your academic achievement: A*A*A - £1000, A*A*A* - £2000

Once in receipt of this scholarship, a further £1,000 per year reduction is then available subject to maintaining a 69.5% overall average mark in the previous academic year.

If you join us directly in year 2, please contact our Undergraduate Admissions Officer to discuss your eligibility for the scholarship.

Candidates will not have to apply for these scholarships, as they are automatically awarded to all eligible students when they commence their studies in the Department.

If you require further information please contact our admissions team

• Students taking a pathway program such as that provided by the University of Sheffield International College are not eligible for the scholarship.

Further details and how to apply

This money is from the University and it doesn’t have to be paid back. It’s in addition to Government funding. You'll receive this bursary for each year of your course, including a year spent studying abroad should you choose to do this.

We use the details you submit to Student Finance and UCAS to assess your entitlement for the Sheffield Bursary Scheme. You don’t need to apply for it. If you’re eligible, we'll email you in October and you will receive the awards detailed below. The first instalment will be paid by the end of October.

You will have a choice of taking your bursary as a direct payment or a fee waiver (reducing the amount of tuition fee loan required).

You will need to be eligible for the full support from Student Finance (tuition fee loan and maintenance loan) to be considered for the University of Sheffield Bursary Scheme
