Students of all nationalities who plan careers in global health, anthropology, ethics, philosophy or public policy.

The award pays all tuition fees for the Global Health & Social Justice MSc, whether at UK/EU or international rates. The recipient also gets:

1. A living stipend of £17,000.
2. A research allowance for the dissertation of up to £1,500.
3. Up to £1,000 to support collaborating local research partners.

The student is expected to coordinate a Global Health Career Pathway Speaker Series (six to eight sessions over the year). A fund of £833 is available to reimburse speakers' travel costs.

Applicants of any nationality can apply. The scholarship particularly encourages applications from people in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and from groups historically under-represented in postgraduate study, because it aims to build a diverse group of global health leaders. Selection is based on academic merit and on how motivated and committed the applicant is to understanding and tackling global health inequalities.

This award suits you if you want a career at the crossroads of global health, anthropology, ethics, philosophy or public policy, and you are ready to study at postgraduate level in the UK. It is open to all nationalities, with particular encouragement for applicants from low- and middle-income countries and from groups historically under-represented in postgraduate courses.
