Selection criteria:
The information contained on both your MSc programme application and scholarship application forms (where applicable) is considered. When awarding the scholarships the school looks for:

• Someone who has direct subject relevance in previous qualifications and/or relevant work experience
• A person who is academically worthy of the award i.e. has achieved high grades previously and/or has worked at a higher level.
• An applicant who they feel can actively contribute to the course.
• A person for whom the fee reduction could make a financial difference.
• Somebody with a proven interest in the course subject i.e. outwith study and work.
• English language ability.

The above areas describe the criteria the school uses to make decisions, but it may be that a person awarded a scholarship excels in only one of these areas.

The school also tries to award scholarships to applications from a variety of geographical regions so that they are all not awarded to students from one area or country.
