The St Mary’s International Excellence Scholarship gives selected students a £2,000 tuition fee discount for an MA or MSc and a £1,500 tuition fee discount for a PGCE.
All eligible applications will automatically be considered after being made an offer of study. A panel will assess offer holders based on candidates’ country of domicile, prior academic achievement and overall application for their programme of study. Applicants do not need to make a separate scholarship application and will receive a scholarship offer letter if they are successful.
Eligibility
The scholarships are open to postgraduate students who:
have been assessed as overseas fee payers, including British passport holders
are enrolled to study full-time on campus, starting from the 2024/25 academic year onward
are planning to study a PGCE programme and will not be eligible for a teacher training bursary or scholarship.
Postgraduate international scholarships are for taught degrees and research programmes are not eligible. Awards are made at the discretion of St Mary’s University.
Only offer holders who are successful in securing a scholarship will be notified within six weeks of receiving their offer of study.
Please note that scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis. Candidates who apply for their programme of study early may therefore have a greater opportunity of success.
All international scholarship offer holders agree to represent St Mary’s University as an ambassador throughout their degree programme. Ambassadorial activities may include providing testimonials or content for social media and other marketing activities, and participating at University Open Days or international promotional events (in-person or virtually), subject to class timetabling and availability.
