Scholarships

Over the past decade since higher education was introduced in the Sultanate, the government has awarded thousands of scholarships to both locals as well as non-locals to study in Universiti Brunei Darussalam.

Apart from tuitions borne by the government, the scholarship will also include the bursaries for accommodation, books, food, personal spending as well as complementary medical treatment at any Brunei Government hospital whilst travel expenses will be arranged by the Brunei Darussalam Foreign Mission at the scholar’s country of origin or the closest Brunei Darussalam Mission to their country.

There are several scholarship schemes available for prospective local and international students.

• Brunei Darussalam Government Scholarship (for local students) and Brunei Darussalam Government Scholarship For Foreign Students Tenable in Brunei Darussalam (for international students) – BDGS (IS)
  • Brunei Darussalam Government Scholarship schemes are offered to citizens of Brunei Darussalam [BDGS (LS)] and international students [BDGS (IS)] to provide financial aid in the perusal of knowledge from undergraduate to graduate studies.
• UBD Graduate Research Scholarship
  • The UBD Graduate Research Scholarship is a competitive scheme awarded to quality PhD students with a strong desire to work in an international and competitive research-intensive environment.
• UBD Bursary
