School Scholarships

With so many overseas students choosing to come and study in the UK, we are very aware at this University of the costs involved and the sacrifices that families and sponsors make in order to help you achieve your goals.

Therefore Computing and Engineering offers a number of scholarships based on academic merit to help YOU with your tuition fees, whether you are NEW to this University, or as a current or former student here. We assess ALL applications for courses to our School to identify worthy candidates.

Scholarships for Chinese Female Engineers

Professor. Xiang Jiang, the world famous metrologist, is generously offering two 50% fee scholarships for Chinese females to study undergraduate Engineering in Huddersfield. The scholarships will be awarded annually to the best qualified applicants.

As an outstanding student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, Xiang obtained her master’s degree in 1992 and her PhD in 1995 for her thesis "Theory and method for measurement of curved surface topography" gaining recognition as the best PhD thesis in China in that decade.

In 1996 Jane came to the UK. Working in the Centre for Precision Technologies at the University she was the first female from the Chinese mainland to become a full Professor in the UK in any subject. During her career Jane has published more than 130 papers, co-authored four books, she holds three patents.

In 2006 she received the prestigious Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award and the Asian Women of Achievement Award.
