Tuition fee reduction of £10,000 over three years for Mathematics students.
Two scholarships are available for new undergraduate students with Home or International fee status.
The scholarship is offered as a £10,000 tuition fee reduction, paid over three years (£4,000 in Year 1, £3,000 in Years 2 and 3).
Students on a four-year undergraduate degree who spend their third year on a placement will not receive any scholarship funding for that third year. However, for the fourth year of the undergraduate degree, the tuition fee reduction will apply.
For students on a four-year course with no external placement or a five-year course with an external placement, the scholarship will be disbursed in the first three years of the degree course only.
