Manchester University is offering up to 100 bursaries for UK and EU students who will be starting taught or research master’s courses in September 2017.
The bursaries are aimed at widening access to master’s courses by removing barriers to postgraduate education for students from underrepresented groups, so you will need to meet a number of criteria to be eligible for the award.
The University of Manchester is a public research university in Manchester, England, formed in 2004 by the merger of the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and the Victoria University of Manchester.
An IELTS certificate is not required at the time of application. If you are shortlisted for the scholarship, you will be asked to take the IELTS test. English language requirements vary by course, but in most cases, you will need a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 (with no sub-test less than 5.5) or TOEFL 570 (90 IBT) to go through to the final selection round. They do not accept a Certificate of English Proficiency from a Rwandan university instead of the IELTS test.
Course Level: Bursaries are available to pursue master degree programme.
Study Subject: Bursaries are awarded to learn any of the courses offered by the university.
Scholarship Award: The University of Manchester is offering 100 bursaries for master’s students, each worth £3,000 in funding.
