Scholarships & Application

The University of Birmingham would like to offer four scholarships for nominated students enrolled at Goethe-University. Students can choose from the six programmes offered. The programme fee is £2500 but the selected students would be entitled to a £2000 scholarship, and therefore only a remaining £500 fee would be required. (Please note that BISS does not cover travel or subsistence costs.)
You can check the necessary entry requirements for the BISS here:
