International Excellence Award: Postgraduate February 2025 entry

This prestigious £5,000 award recognises academic excellence and is awarded to selected students starting a masters degree in February 2025.

Eligibility criteria

In order to be eligible applicants must:

Be an overseas fee-paying student

Hold an offer to study a full time masters programme (excludes part-time, distance-learning courses and the MBA)

Be self-funded (you must be paying for your studies independently rather than being sponsored or in receipt of another scholarship) 

Not be from the Surrey International Study Centre (SISC).

Applicants in receipt of the International Excellence Award will not be eligible for the alumni discount as the value of this award is higher.
