Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences: RUK Undergraduate Deans Excellence Scholarship

The Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences is delighted to offer a number of £2,000 Deans Excellence scholarships to RUK students paying a tuition fee of £9550 per year.

The scholarships will be awarded on merit, rather than financial need, to candidates who demonstrate in their UCAS application, potential to succeed in their chosen programme. (This may include academic performance (current and/or previously gained) where grades may be available, or academic references where non-standard qualifications are being taken, responses to UCAS application form questions and any relevant extra-curricular personal development or experience).

All eligible RUK UCAS offer holders will automatically be considered for an award, following the 29 January 2025 UCAS deadline, therefore no separate scholarship application is required.
