Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences: Scottish/RUK Postgraduate Deans Excellence Scholarship

6The Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences is delighted to offer a number of £2,000 Deans Excellence scholarships to Home (Scottish) and RUK students undertaking a full-time, one year, on-campus Masters programme or full-time LLB (Graduate Entry) Law programme.

The scholarships will be awarded on merit, rather than financial need, to candidates who demonstrate in their programme application, excellent academic performance (current and/or previously gained) and any relevant extra-curricular or professional experience.

All eligible applicants will be automatically considered for an award, therefore no separate scholarship application is required.

Scholarships will be awarded on a rolling basis and awards may be allocated early in the application cycle, so an early application for admission is advised.
