Applications for eligible students in Northern Ireland are now open for entry in 2025

Now more than ever is the moment for Northern Irish young people to look outwards, follow their ambition, and see what opportunities the world holds for them. 

This year we can offer places with scholarship support based on need at UWC Pearson, Canada🇨🇦 and UWC Changshu, China🇨🇳. If you study German and would like to continue studying the language, or if you speak French to a native-speaker level💬, or alternatively, if you are especially active in sustainability you may be considered for a place at UWC Robert Bosch in Germany🇩🇪 

We are seeking students from all sections of the community and all schools. Those from marginal communities are especially encouraged to apply. Please note that scholarships are means tested and financial information will be required.

Any young person, parent, or teacher interested in learning more can search “UWC Northern Ireland” online or email info@nir.uwc.org.
