International students including EU students

This scheme suits applicants who are charged international fees and who want to take a full-time taught Master's at Exeter starting in September 2021. EU students who are required to pay international fees are included.

You need an offer for an eligible programme before you can apply, so the scholarship fits students who have already chosen their course and been admitted to it.

A range of full, £10,000 and £5,000 scholarships are on offer.

You can apply for one of these scholarships if you are classified as an international student for fees purposes (including any EU students required to pay international fees) and you already hold an offer for an eligible full-time Postgraduate taught degree at the University of Exeter, commencing in September 2021.

Applications are currently closed. The official page states that the Global Excellence Scholarships 2021/22 for Postgraduate Taught (Masters) are now closed.

To be considered for the scholarship, you must already hold an offer for an eligible full-time Postgraduate taught degree at the University of Exeter. Once you have received your offer, you can apply for the scholarship by completing an online application form before 23 April 2021.
