Undergraduate scholarships and loans

As a global institution, Bayes Business School aims to foster greater racial diversity in business. It is offering ten scholarships for Black UK-domiciled undergraduate students from lower than average income households.

Each scholarship covers the full tuition fee (at home-fee level) and a £6,000 annual stipend for three years. Scholarship holders will also be offered mentoring and support.

Ensuring that high achieving International students are given the platform to excel is a core principle of Bayes Business School (Bayes). Our new International Excellence Scholarship offers eligible students a fee reduction of £8,000 in their first year of study, easing financial pressures and allowing them to focus on their studies.

The scholarship is aimed at students who fully meet or exceed the conditions of their conditional offer to study a Bayes undergraduate programme commencing in 2026, who select us as their ‘Firm’ choice on UCAS and who submit their application to this scholarship by June 30^th 2026.

Where an applicant has already completed their studies and is holding either

1. An unconditional offer to study with us or
2. A conditional offer subject to verification of their obtained results, they will only be eligible to receive this scholarship if their qualification results meet or exceed our published entry requirements, available on each course page of our website.

Applicants must still select us as their Firm choice on UCAS as per the guidance above.

Applicants joining the Bayes undergraduate programme via either the City St George’s International Study Centre or Kaplan International College London route will not be eligible to apply to this scholarship. These students are advised to contact their Progression Coordinator to inquire as to local scholarship opportunities.
