    Mature EU students and bursary schemes eligibility
    Hi to all

    I would like to ask if anyone knows whether mature EU students are eligible for various university bursary schemes if they don't have any degree yet but have already studied for some time at a univeristy which didn't fit their needs?

    In other words, what is meant by "first full-time undergraduate degree" - does it mean it has to be your 1st course ever or is it enough that you just don't have any BSc or BA degree?

    Thanks in advance for any tips on how to interpret this piece.

    No one knows what are the university requirements in this case?

    Think it kinda depends on the uni? I was under the impression that they tend to have different requirements re: bursaries.

    Tbh, I couldn't find one single bursary I'm eligible to apply for at the University of Sheffield and it was mostly due to the fact I'm a non-UK resident... not age, previous study or else.

    I see, thank you ohdrama.

    I thought that most UK universities would have pretty similar requirements.
