University of Greenwich Scholarships for International Students 2026

The University of Greenwich does offer online postgraduate degrees, but there’s no scholarship that was clearly advertised as online-only.

University of Greenwich scholarships are not limited to just one subject. Broad awards such as the International Scholarship Award and the Early Applicant scholarships can support students across many eligible courses, so that can include business, engineering, STEM fields such as computing, data science, biomedical science and public health, and humanities and social sciences.

In the recipient stories, Aisha Lareb came to Greenwich after an MBBS and used the MSc in Global Public Health to connect medicine with policy, research and leadership, while Krishna Sharma also chose Greenwich for Global Public Health.

University of Greenwich says it accepts students from over a hundred countries, but scholarship nationality rules depend on the award. In the Global Scholarships recipient stories, the confirmed Greenwich students were from Nepal and Pakistan: Krishna Sharma and Aisha Lareb.

Usually yes, unless you meet one of Greenwich’s exemptions. The university says that if you do not already hold a valid English language qualification, any offer can be conditional on you achieving the required IELTS score or another accepted equivalent. This matches the recipient stories well: Krishna Sharma said, “I took the IELTS exam,” and prepared through self-study and consistent practice. By contrast, Aisha Lareb said she “did not take standardized tests,” which is a helpful reminder that applicants may not always need extra tests like GRE or GMAT, but that does not remove Greenwich’s own English-language rules unless the applicant qualifies for an exemption.

There is no single universal minimum grade for everyone because Greenwich sets academic entry requirements by course and by country. For example, the India page lists Standard XII with a minimum grade of 65% for standard Bachelor’s entry, while the Pakistan page lists 70% for FA, FSC, ICom, DCom, HSSC or Intermediate. On postgraduate and research routes, requirements are often expressed in UK degree-class terms such as a relevant upper-second-class honours degree or a Master’s-level result at merit-equivalent level.

The university says it welcomes students of all ages.. So for most applicants, age is not the main issue; the more important factors are academic eligibility, English requirements, and the scholarship’s own criteria.

A good academic background for Greenwich usually means relevant prior study, a profile that matches your chosen course, and evidence that you can meet the course’s academic and English requirements. For international scholarships, you also usually need to match the fee-status and domicile rules of the award. In practice, strong applicants often combine academics with purpose and evidence of impact.

The Greenwich recipient stories make this very personal. Krishna Sharma came with a Bachelor of Public Health and years of maternal and neonatal health work, and he explained that he aligned his personal statement with his long-term goal of strengthening rural healthcare systems. Aisha Lareb brought an MBBS background plus community-health advocacy and leadership, and her advice was to “focus on impact, not just achievements.” So a good background is not only about grades; it is also about relevance, clarity, leadership, and real contribution.

For undergraduate study, the exact documents depend on your route and course, but you should normally be ready with your academic certificates or transcripts, proof of identity such as a passport, and English-language evidence where required. Some courses may also ask for a personal statement, reference, portfolio, or interview-related documents. If your qualifications are from outside the UK, Greenwich’s online application guidance says electronic transcripts should be attached in English translation.

For postgraduate taught study, most applicants apply directly to Greenwich, and the supporting documents can vary by course. Commonly, you should still expect academic transcripts or certificates, passport details, and proof of English where needed, with some programmes also asking for a personal statement, reference, portfolio, DBS, occupational health clearance, or other professional checks.

For postgraduate research study, Greenwich is much more explicit: it asks for scanned certificates and transcripts that meet entry requirements, a scanned passport and residency documents if applicable, a CV, the names of two referees or written references, and proof of English-language proficiency where required.

For undergraduate study, Greenwich’s official page sends applicants to UCAS for the latest application fee, so the fee is the UCAS application fee rather than a separately stated Greenwich fee on that page. For postgraduate taught applications, there’s no application fee for most programs.
