Eligibility

The scholarship is open now for all international (non-EU) Postgraduate Taught Masters students joining eligible programmes within the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences in September 2026. Awards will be assessed on merit, rather than financial need, to candidates who demonstrate in their programme application, excellent academic performance (current and/or previously gained) and any relevant extra-curricular or professional experience.

Important things to note

• Separate applications are not necessary and you will be automatically considered based on your programme application and supporting documents.
• To be considered for a scholarship an applicant must hold an offer to study a full-time attendance course in the 2026/27 academic year.
• Students are only eligible for one scholarship per academic year from the University of Strathclyde.
• Online, blended learning programmes, PG Diplomas, PG Certificates, PGDE and MSW Social Work programmes are not eligible for these scholarships.
• To receive their scholarship, awardees must enrol in studies commencing in September 2026 and continue to meet all of the above eligibility criteria.
