3. The Accounting and Finance Top Ten Achievement Scholarship

The Top Ten Achievement Scholarship Scheme is worth £2,000 for students demonstrating outstanding academic performance in their first and second years of study on BSc Accounting and Finance:
• Ten students achieving the highest overall marks in BSc Accounting and Finance in their first year will receive a Top Ten Achievement Scholarship of £2,000 towards their continued studies on the programme.
• Ten students achieving the highest overall marks in BSc Accounting and Finance in their second year will also receive a Top Ten Achievement Scholarship of £2,000 towards their final year of study on the programme.
The Top Ten Achievement Scholarship will be awarded and paid when the scholarship holders recommence their studies at the University in the academic year following their achievement, and will be offered either as a fees deduction or maintenance paid directly into a student’s bank account in monthly instalments.
For students spending their third year on a placement in industry, or studying abroad as a year abroad, this means that a scholarship awarded at the end of their second year will normally be paid at the start of their final year. Similarly, students who become temporary leavers for a valid reason, such as ill health, will also have their award deferred until their return to study.
