Swansea University is a popular destination for Chevening Scholars and we are proud to support this scholarship programme and increase the number of Chevening scholars that we welcome to our campuses each year.

Join a diverse network of future leaders and study with us on a fully funded Chevening Scholarship
We are proud to support Chevening Scholarships, the UK government's scholarships programme for international students studying master's degrees.

To apply for this scholarship you must have:
- An undergraduate degree.
- At least two years' work experience (including voluntary experience).
- Leadership skills such as excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, and the sheer determination to achieve your goals.

The scheme aims to cover the enormous spectrum of talent which young people reveal in individual and team sports. We look for students who not only satisfy the normal academic requirements for admission but who have also demonstrated outstanding ability in whatever sporting sphere they have made their specialty.

Full details about the scholarship, including the application form, can be found on Sporting scholarships and Tass webpage.

We are delighted to be able to offer all International students applying to study Pharmacy (MPharm) with us a £2,000 per year fee reduction.

5. Students in receipt of SIPS, may still apply for other scholarships or bursaries offered by the University or externally (subject to any cap) and SIPS will be given irrespective of other awards that are received. The Student acknowledges that it is their responsibility to check and confirm that the terms and conditions of any other awards can be given and accepted alongside SIPS. The University reserves the right to, and will, withdraw any additional University scholarships which have been awarded in error, and/or where circumstances have changed.
