About the program

Enrolled international students who have achieved the following undergraduate awards in their undergraduate study will automatically be awarded the scholarship as a tuition fee discount:

1st - £5,000
2:1 - £4,000
2:2 - £3,000

This will be assessed as per the University's defined equivalence.

Eligibility

You must be registered on, and attending, a taught postgraduate course that equates to at least one year's full-time study at postgraduate level and leads to a named award of at least Postgraduate Diploma level at Keele University from September 2025 onwards. This means, for example, that students who attain, or are registered on, a Postgraduate Certificate course, will not receive an award. Students registered for a PhD or an MPhil are not eligible to receive an award.
Students who take the MA in Social Work, and are not in receipt of external funding, or receive partial tuition fee funding from the NHSBSA, may be eligible to receive the Postgraduate Global Scholarship on the proportion of the fee they pay as an individual. Social Work students in receipt of a fully funded place are not eligible to receive the Postgraduate Global Scholarship.
The Postgraduate Global Scholarship is generally a one-time award. The award will only be awarded once except for students studying MSc Nursing or MSc Prosthetics and Orthotics where the award may be given twice to cover both years of study in these two-year programmes.
Only self-funded international students are eligible, and you must be confirmed as an overseas student for fee paying purposes. The Scholarship is not open to students who are in receipt of funding from external bodies such as local government, charities or private organisations.
The Scholarship is for students who will be based at Keele University and start their studies in September 2025 or January 2026. The award cannot be used for any other year of entry.

Exceptions

The award is not available for students studying the following programmes:

Medicine
PGCE
