Language Tuition Programme
How to apply
You do not need to wait for an offer — the scholarship application can run alongside admission.
- Click 'Get support' on the Language Tuition page to reach the referral form
- Complete the referral form (self-refer, or someone can refer a person from a refugee background) at breaking-barriers.co.uk/refugee-support/apply-for-support/language-reaccreditation-programmes/
- Applicants below B1 English (ESOL Entry 3) are signposted to ESOL classes instead of the programme
How they select
application form
There is no interview — the decision is made on documents. On most routes there are no subject entrance exams either: the main hurdle on the way into university is proving your level of English. The exceptions are medicine, dentistry and creative courses, where tests and portfolios do appear.

Ask before you apply
We do not fill in the gaps for the institution. Here is what its own page leaves unclear — these are normal questions, everyone asks them.
- What happens to the payments if I am granted refugee status mid-year?
- Is the scholarship for one year or for the whole course?

If this scheme is not for you
- See the full list of schemes — it has a filter for your status and for whether student finance is available to you.
- Check whether you are entitled to student finance — if it is, a scholarship stops being the only road.
- Foundation year and Access to HE — routes for people who only have a school certificate.
- Education hub — where to start if you have not chosen a route yet.
