ELIGIBILITY:

Students are required to demonstrate academic excellence (usually a UK first-class undergraduate degree or international equivalent) and the potential both to make a significant contribution to the Strathclyde community during their studies and in their chosen profession upon graduation. The deadline to be considered for the Dean’s International Excellence Award is 31 October 2026. There is no application process for this award, and chosen offer holders will be contacted in advance of the deadline.

Important things to note:

The award is available for eligible self-funded, international (non-EU) fee-paying applicants enrolling on a full-time postgraduate taught course within the University of Strathclyde’s campus in Glasgow starting in January 2027 only. The scholarships cannot be deferred or transferred to any other entry points. 

The scholarship will be awarded automatically, and no application is necessary. Please note that the scholarship details will be added to your student record once payment of the deposit has been received, and the funds will be automatically deducted from your overall fees. 

Those who receive full sponsorship from a government office or embassy are not eligible for these scholarships.

In order to be considered for a scholarship, an applicant must hold an offer to study on a full-time postgraduate taught course in January 2027.

Students are only eligible for one scholarship per academic year from the University of Strathclyde. 

Students who do not meet any of the required criteria will automatically not be considered.

The Faculty of Engineering’s decision on the awarding of scholarships is final.

No scholarship application is necessary; all international offer holders will be considered.

BENEFIT:

Excellence Awards are available of between £9,000 and £12,000.
