About our Departmental Scholarships
The Mathematics Department of Swansea University offers Mathematics prizes/scholarships worth up to a total of £3000 for students starting their university studies in September 2026. The prizes will be awarded on the basis of a competitive two-and-a-half-hour examination which will be taken on 4th March 2026. Usually, applicants take the exam in their school or college, but this year arrangements will be made to enable applicants to sit the exam remotely. Applications are open to home students that have made any undergraduate course from the Mathematics department at Swansea one of your UCAS selections.
These scholarships can be used in conjunction with our Excellence and Merit scholarships.
If you are interested in taking the scholarship exam, then you should complete and return a Maths Scholarship Exam Application form 2026 to us via email.
