Regent's University London - [Regents Uni], London, England - Scholarship

Q: How does the Dr Nicholas Bowen Scholarship work at Regents University London?

The Dr Nicholas Bowen Scholarship is a 2,000 (INR 2.22 Lakhs) one-off award for BA (Hons) Global Management offer holders at Regents University London. Selection considers academic merit alongside demonstrated financial need. Indian applicants qualify on the same criteria as other international candidates. The award can be held alongside the Regents Global Scholarship. There is no separate application form; the admissions office reviews the BA Global Management file for eligibility.

Q: Do I apply separately for Regents University London scholarships or with my admission?

Most Regents University London scholarships are applied automatically with your admission file. The Global Scholarship (UG and PG), Dr Nicholas Bowen Award, and Alumni discount do not require a separate form. The Early Bird Offer is triggered by paying your tuition deposit before the published cut-off. External awards like Chevening, Inlaks, JN Tata, and KC Mahindra have their own application portals. Each runs on fixed annual deadlines in parallel with your Regents admission process.

Q: Do Regents University London scholarships cover London living costs?

Regents University London institutional scholarships apply only to tuition, not living costs. London living costs for Indian students run at 15,000 to 18,000 (INR 16.65 to 19.98 Lakhs) per year, per UKVI Student Route figures. To cover living costs, Indian applicants should target Chevening, which pays a monthly London stipend. Inlaks also funds tuition plus living. JN Tata and KC Mahindra loan scholarships help bridge the living-cost gap through direct fund transfers.

Regent’s University London offers 5 named scholarship awards and fee discounts, of which all 5 are accessible to Indian applicants.

Regent’s is a private independent university, so its funding pool is smaller than most publicly funded UK institutions. The upside for Indian applicants: institutional awards are stackable, currency-fixed, and applied automatically with admission.

Standard UG tuition for Indian applicants: £24,500 to £27,750 per year (INR 27.20 to 30.80 Lakhs), fixed for the full degree.
Standard PG tuition: £11,000 to £39,000 per year (INR 12.21 to 43.29 Lakhs), also fixed for the full duration.
With the Regent’s Global Scholarship at its top tier of £4,000, UG tuition drops to about £20,500 (INR 22.76 Lakhs) per year.
Stacking the Global Scholarship with the Alumni or Early Bird offer typically shaves an additional £2,000 to £3,000 (INR 2.22 to 3.33 Lakhs) per year.
Next application windows: September 2026 rolling intake is still open; January 2027 intake is now accepting Indian applications.

Currency Note: All INR conversions use the live rate of 1 GBP = INR 111 as of September 2026. Amounts above INR 1 Lakh are shown in Lakhs; conversions round to two decimals.

Regent’s University London Scholarships for UG Students

Regent’s University London offers 3 award routes to Indian undergraduate applicants, ranging from £1,000 to £4,000 per year of study. Awards are decided at the offer stage using the admission file. No additional essay is required for most categories.

Regent’s Global Scholarship (UG)	£1,000 to £4,000 (INR 1.11 to 4.44 Lakhs) per year	All international UG offer holders, including Indians with CBSE or CISCE Class 12 at 60% or other boards at 65%. Awarded on academic merit and application quality.	Applied automatically after offer; no separate form required
Dr Nicholas Bowen Scholarship	£2,000 (INR 2.22 Lakhs), one-off award	BA (Hons) Global Management offer holders, considered on merit and demonstrated financial need.

The Regent’s Global Scholarship is the workhorse award for Indian UG applicants. The admission tutor decides the tier once your file is complete. The amount is deducted from your first-year tuition invoice. There is no interview, no separate essay, and no need to signal interest before applying. The award renews in the second and third years, subject to satisfactory academic progress.

Regent’s University London Scholarships for PG / Master’s Students

Indian postgraduate applicants can access 3 institutional awards at Regent’s University London, worth £1,000 to £4,000 per year. The Global MBA route has the widest fee cushion. It sits against a £39,000 (INR 43.29 Lakhs) programme cost.

Scholarship	Value (GBP / INR)	Eligibility for Indian Applicants	Deadline
Regent’s Global Scholarship (PG)	£1,000 to £4,000 (INR 1.11 to 4.44 Lakhs) per year	All international PG offer holders with an Indian Bachelor’s at 50% or higher, mapped to UK 2:2. Awarded on merit and personal statement quality.	Automatic with admission decision; rolling
Regent’s Global MBA Fee Award	£1,000 to £4,000 (INR 1.11 to 4.44 Lakhs) off the £39,000 MBA fee	Global MBA offer holders showing leadership potential, work experience, and career alignment. Indian professionals with 3+ years experience commonly qualify.	Applied at MBA offer acceptance; tentative August 15, 2026 for the September 2026 MBA cohort
Regent’s Alumni Scholarship	Value not published; commonly 10 to 15% of tuition based on institutional norms	Regent’s UG or PG graduates progressing to a Master’s or MBA at the same university. Indian alumni continuing on a graduate visa route are eligible.	Applied to the PG fee invoice; rolling on admission

The Alumni Scholarship is the underused route among Indian applicants. Students who finish a Regent’s UG programme and stay on for a specialist Master’s or MBA get a percentage discount. There is no re-competition against the wider international applicant pool. Combining the Alumni discount with the Global Scholarship reduces net PG tuition meaningfully. The saving is largest on the Global MBA, where the sticker price is highest.

Reddit Insight: An Indian PG applicant on r/UniUK reported requesting a fee-award tier review after submitting a stronger personal statement. The move lifted them from a £2,000 offer to £4,000 within 10 days.

India-Specific Scholarships at Regent’s University London

Regent’s University London does not run a country-specific India scholarship. Indian applicants can still combine 3 India-friendly funding routes. These pair the institutional Global award with two India-side loan scholarships that fund overseas study directly.

Scholarship	Value (GBP / INR)	Eligibility for Indian Applicants	Deadline
Regent’s Global Scholarship (Indian applicant assessment)	£1,000 to £4,000 (INR 1.11 to 4.44 Lakhs) per year	Automatic consideration for Indian applicants with CBSE or CISCE Class 12 at 60% or Indian Bachelor’s at 50% or higher. Password Skills Plus test can substitute for IELTS.	Rolling; assessed at admission decision
JN Tata Endowment Loan Scholarship	Up to INR 10 Lakhs, part gift + part soft loan	Indian citizens holding an admission offer for a Master’s or Doctorate abroad, including UK. Bachelor’s degree with strong academic record required.	Tentative March 31, 2026 for the September 2026 intake cycle
KC Mahindra Scholarships for Postgraduate Studies Abroad	Up to INR 10 Lakhs, interest-free repayable award	Indian citizens under 30 with confirmed admission to an overseas PG programme. Interview shortlisting typically in April each year.	Applications close tentatively March 27, 2026 for the September 2026 cycle

The Global Scholarship at Regent’s does not deprioritise Indian applicants. The same rubric of academic profile and statement quality applies. What Indian applicants gain over most nationalities is early parallel access to JN Tata and KC Mahindra. Both pay directly into overseas fee accounts. Combining the £4,000 Regent’s award with a JN Tata soft loan of INR 10 Lakhs covers roughly half of a one-year Master’s tuition line.

Regent’s University London PhD Scholarships

Regent’s University London offers Professional Doctorate and DBA routes rather than traditional research PhDs. Indian applicants pursuing doctoral study should treat institutional funding as limited. External Indian and UK routes carry most of the load.

Scholarship	Value (GBP / INR)	Eligibility for Indian Applicants	Deadline
Regent’s Doctoral Bursary (institutional)	Value case-specific; typically applied as a tuition discount rather than a stipend	DBA and Professional Doctorate offer holders whose research proposal aligns with a Regent’s supervisor’s expertise. Indian applicants are assessed on the same basis.	Rolling on admission; tentative decision within 6 weeks of offer
Commonwealth Split-Site Scholarship	Full split-site funding: airfare, living allowance, tuition contribution to UK host	Indian PhD candidates enrolled at an Indian university and hosted at Regent’s for up to 12 months of doctoral work. Application via Indian nodal agency required.	Tentative September 30, 2026 for the 2027 cycle (annual pattern)
Charles Wallace India Trust Doctoral Grant	£2,000 to £6,000 (INR 2.22 to 6.66 Lakhs) short-term research grant	Indian doctoral researchers in arts, humanities, heritage conservation, or allied fields. Short residencies of 2 to 4 months at UK institutions supported.	Tentative November 30, 2026 for the 2027 award cycle

Two constraints matter here. First, Regent’s is a small independent university with a narrower research base. Its doctoral funding is therefore capped compared to a Russell Group (top UK research-intensive) university. Second, Regent’s does not run block-grant research council studentships. Indian doctoral applicants lean on Charles Wallace grants for short residencies or Commonwealth split-site for structured co-supervision.

External Government Scholarships for Regent’s University London

Indian students admitted to Regent’s University London can layer external UK and Indian government funding on top of institutional awards. Combined external support can reach INR 40 Lakhs per year. The three routes below are open to Regent’s Master’s and MBA applicants.

Scholarship	Value (GBP / INR)	Eligibility for Indian Applicants	Deadline
Chevening Scholarship (UK Government)	Full tuition + monthly London stipend ~£18,558 (INR 20.60 Lakhs) + return airfare	Indian citizens with 2 years’ full-time work experience, holding an unconditional offer for a one-year UK Master’s including Regent’s. Two academic and one leadership referee required.	Tentative November 4, 2026 for the 2027 intake (annual FCDO cycle)
Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation Scholarship	Up to $100,000 (INR 83 Lakhs) total, covering tuition and living costs	Indian citizens under 30 with a strong first degree from an Indian university, pursuing a Master’s abroad. Rigorous shortlisting and interview process.	Tentative April 5, 2026 for the September 2026 intake
Charles Wallace India Trust Long Grant	£2,000 to £6,000 (INR 2.22 to 6.66 Lakhs) supplementary award	Indian citizens in arts, humanities, heritage, or professional creative fields pursuing UK study. Grants supplement other funding rather than fully covering fees.	Tentative November 30, 2026 for the 2027 award cycle

What the Chevening package covers for an Indian student at Regent’s University London:

Full tuition fee for a one-year taught Master’s programme, paid directly to Regent’s
Monthly living stipend calibrated to London rates, roughly £18,558 (INR 20.60 Lakhs) per academic year
Return economy airfare from India to the UK, plus an arrival allowance
Thesis grant, homeward allowance, and Chevening event participation costs

Reddit Insight: Indian Chevening applicants on r/Chevening flag November 4 as the hard close. Success rates rise when the leadership essay names a concrete India-return project, not a generic career pitch.

Two external routes commonly asked about are not available at Regent’s. The Commonwealth Master’s Scholarship funds UK study only at partner public universities on the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission host list. Regent’s is not currently on that partner list. GREAT Scholarships India is jointly funded by the British Council and specific UK universities each cycle. Regent’s has not been a listed GREAT partner in recent years. Indian applicants should treat Chevening as the primary UK government pathway, backed by Inlaks and India-side loan scholarships.

Regent’s University London Scholarships: Frequently Asked Questions

Ques. What is the highest total funding an Indian student can realistically receive at Regent’s University London?

Ans. The maximum realistic stack for an Indian PG applicant is around INR 45 Lakhs per year. This combines a Chevening full-tuition award plus the London stipend of about INR 20.60 Lakhs. The Regent’s Global Scholarship of £4,000 (INR 4.44 Lakhs) then layers on top. Applicants who miss Chevening can still stack the Regent’s Global Scholarship with the Alumni or Early Bird discount.

Ans. Apply 6 to 9 months before the intake for the strongest scholarship position at Regent’s University London. For September 2026 entry, complete your application by February or March 2026.
