Summary

Strathclyde Business School is pleased to offer Dean's Excellence Awards for the upcoming September 2026 intake.  We invite applicants who hold an offer of a place on a September 2026 SBS MSc programme and are classified as international for fee status, to apply.  The scholarships will range from £10,000 to £12,000 depending on the specific subject area and course fee.

The scholarships will be awarded on merit, rather than financial need, to candidates who can demonstrate excellent academic performance (current/and or previously gained), any relevant extra-curricular or professional experience and career development, and who will contribute to the overall academic, cultural and experiential of the programme cohort.  The committee will consider both the scholarship and MSc programme applications in their decision making process.
