£1,000 Taught Masters Bursaries
The School of GeoSciences is offering a set number of awards of £1,000 to offset tuition fees for students enrolled on the MSc Exploration Geophysics programme.
New and existing applicants who have firmly accepted an offer (conditional or unconditional) will automatically be entered into the bursary competition. No separate bursary application is required.
Criteria
The bursaries will be awarded on the basis of:
- the strongest statement of interest in the programme
- academic merit (candidates must have the equivalent of a UK first class honours degree)
If you wish to be considered for these, you must have firmly accepted your offer by 30 June 2012. A selection committee will meet in the summer to select bursary holders. The winners of the bursaries will be announced during the summer, before the start of term.
Please contact the Programme Secretary for further information.
Further funding options
The University of Edinburgh also offers a wide range of scholarships to support students of all nationalities. These include the Edinburgh Global Master’s Scholarship and many other region- and country-specific scholarships.
These scholarships have a separate application process. For most of the scholarships you will need to have already applied for a place on the MSc before you can apply for the scholarship. The deadlines for these scholarships range from October to May, so you need to apply early to the MSc to be able to apply for the full range of scholarships.
