Find your postgraduate scholarship

The University of Westminster is one of the few universities in the UK to offer full scholarships to postgraduate students and in 2015/16 the University awarded scholarships to students from over 50 countries across the world. For the 2016/17 academic session, several scholarships were made available, and some scholarships for the January 2017 intake are still open for application till October 2016.

The University of Westminster scholarships are listed below under four categories: full scholarship, full tuition fee, half tuition fee and part tuition fee awards. On your application form, you will need to tell the University honestly the two minimum levels of funding that you require and then your application will be assessed for all of the scholarships within that category.

Please note, the University's full scholarships and full tuition fee scholarships are not available to MBA applicants (who are only eligible to apply for the dedicated MBA Scholarships). Also note that all scholarship applications are open to new students only. Current students, unfortunately, are not eligible to apply.

Method of Application
The scholarship application process is separate from the process of applying for admission to the University. You should only apply for a scholarship once you have applied for admission and successfully been offered a place (either conditional or unconditional) on the course you wish to study. International scholarship applicants must send their applications to the university by post.

It is important to visit the "Before You Apply for a University of Westminster Scholarship" webpage for complete and detailed information.

DEADLINES:
Deadline for applications to study in September 2016 classes is 3rd May 2016; while that for January 2017 class study is 14th October 2016. Applications sent or received after the deadline will not be considered.

PLEASE NOTE:
You should only apply for the level of funding you actually need as the university assumes that you are applying for the minimum funding you require to take the course and it does not consider you for smaller scholarships if you are unsuccessful in gaining the larger one.

The University of Westminster Scholarships Department has implemented a new policy which states that students that have previously applied for a scholarship and have not been successful must wait for a period of two calendar years before they are eligible to reapply for any of the scholarships that we offer.

Application Deadline: 14 October 2016
