All international students with an offer for an eligible programme* can apply if they meet the following requirements:
Achieve, or are on course to achieve, a UK 1st Class Honours degree (or international equivalent)
Hold an offer for an eligible postgraduate taught programme for the September 2025 intake

How to Apply
Once you have applied for a Master’s programme at Queen Mary and received an offer, you must complete the online President’s Global Scholarships application form. Conditional offer holders who are on track to achieve a 1st class degree (or equivalent) are welcome to apply.
Applicants should apply for a President's scholarship as soon as possible after receiving an offer for a postgraduate course, as scholarships will be allocated on a rolling basis. Applications will close once all scholarships have been awarded.
The application form will be published here shortly
The £10,000 scholarship will be deducted from tuition fees upon enrolment at Queen Mary.
Terms and Conditions
You must have achieved, or be on course to achieve, a 1st Class UK bachelor’s degree or an overseas equivalent degree. Information on the comparability of international qualifications can be found on the Entry Requirements section under the listings for each programme in the course finder. Please note this information is only intended as a guide and the final decision on equivalency of overseas qualifications will be made by the Admissions Office.
This scheme is available only to students who apply for and enrol on an eligible course taught at Queen Mary in September 2025. Scholarships cannot be deferred to subsequent intakes or years of study.
Your fee status must have been confirmed as ‘Overseas’ by Queen Mary and must remain ‘Overseas’ throughout the programme. This award is not available to applicants assessed as ‘Home’ for fee status purposes, regardless of domicile.
You must be enrolled on a full-time programme.
You must not be in receipt of any other University scholarship or full-fee scholarship/sponsorship from any other source.
You must be fully self-funded.
Pre-masters programmes (standalone and integrated) are not included in the President’s Global Scholarship scheme.
If you are awarded the scholarship, it will be deducted directly from tuition fees payable to the University. You must be able to finance the remainder of your tuition fees and living expenses.
The scholarship will be confirmed when your admissions status is ‘unconditional firm’ (UF) and you enrol at Queen Mary.
The scholarship is awarded by Queen Mary in line with the eligibility criteria and application requirements published above. We reserve the right to withdraw the scholarship if your fee status changes to Home or if you otherwise become ineligible for the award.
President’s Global Scholarship awardees will be expected to act as International Student Ambassadors of Queen Mary, supporting promotional activities during the 2025/26 academic year.
