What to know before applying
You need an offer for an eligible taught Master’s, overseas fee status and a 2:1 Honours degree or overseas equivalent. The award is not automatic. Queen Mary emails a scholarship form to offer holders once applications open, and the same form also considers you for the Global Merit and Global Excellence Scholarships. Several programmes are excluded, including MRes, PG Diploma, PG Certificate, distance learning and some named MSc courses such as MSc Economics, so check your programme on the official page before you count on the award.
You must study full-time and be self-funded, with no other University scholarship or full-fee scholarship. The award cannot be deferred, and it is confirmed once your place is unconditional firm and you enrol. Queen Mary can withdraw it if your fee status changes to Home. To compare other UK options, see the Scotland Saltire Scholarship, the LSE PhD Studentships, all scholarships in the UK and more Master’s scholarships
Timeline notes
Queen Mary states that scholarship applications open in October and that awards are allocated on a rolling basis, with unlimited places until April 2027. The page does not give an exact opening day or a closing date, and one line still mentions 2026/7, so confirm the intake with Queen Mary. See the application deadline section for the current status
