The University of Edinburgh International Master's Scholarships

The University of Edinburgh will offer sixteen Master's scholarships for postgraduate study in any subject offered by the University. Each scholarship will have a value of £3,000 which will be deducted from the tuition fee. The scholarships will be tenable for one academic year.

Eligibility

The scholarships will be awarded to students who are accepted for admission on a full-time basis for a postgraduate Master's programme of study at the University of Edinburgh from the following countries:

Africa (List of African Countries)	Mexico
Canada	Middle East (List of Middle East Countries)
China	Norway
Hong Kong	Russia
India	Singapore
Japan	Taiwan
Korea	Thailand
Malaysia	USA

Applicants should already have been offered a place at the University of Edinburgh and should have firmly accepted that offer or be intending to do so.

Criteria

The scholarship will be awarded broadly on the basis of academic merit. Candidates must have, or expect to obtain, a UK first class or 2:1 Honours degree at undergraduate level or the international equivalent.

In addition to the above academic qualifications, the selection panel will also take into account the financial circumstances of applicants to ensure that as far as possible a student's financial situation does not impede a university education at the University of Edinburgh.
