About the information on StudyKin

About our scholarship information: We update scholarship information as new details are announced by universities and scholarship providers. Scholarships for 2027/28 may be marked **TBC** where details have not yet been confirmed. Closing dates and eligibility can change, and some scholarships may reopen each year. Always check the official scholarship provider’s website for the latest information before applying.

How we calculate the student demographics
Our demographic data uses the latest HESA and publicly available data for UK-domiciled students, usually from the previous academic year. Figures are rounded to whole numbers, and ethnicity is self-identified by students, so figures are indicative. HESA’s “Mixed” category includes all mixed ethnic backgrounds, including mixed Black backgrounds.

What is the Race Equality Charter? The Race Equality Charter (REC) helps universities identify and address racial inequalities. Universities can be REC members without holding an award. Members can work towards Bronze, Silver or Gold awards, which recognise progress towards racial equality.
