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.
| Scholarship Name | Who Can Apply | Study Level | Benefits / Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brunei Darussalam Government Scholarship (International) | International students | Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD | Full tuition fees, monthly living allowance, accommodation, medical insurance, and return airfare |
| Brunei Darussalam Government Scholarship (Local) | Brunei citizens | Bachelor’s, Master’s | Tuition fees and government financial support |
| UBD Graduate Research Scholarship (UGRS) | International & local students | PhD | Tuition fee waiver, monthly stipend, free on-campus accommodation, return airfare, research funding, conference support, and insurance |
| UBD Bursary | PhD students | PhD | Financial assistance and research support (amount varies) |
