The scholarship is awarded as a £5,000 fee waiver. It is open to self-funded international fee paying students regardless of nationality or domicile. The scheme is application based and awards are decided by a scholarship awards panel.
ELIGIBILITY:
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.
BENEFIT:
This prestigious £5,000 award recognises academic excellence and is awarded to selected students starting a masters degree in September 2024.
The Humboldt Research Track funding line is designed to support outstanding Master’s students from Humboldt-Universität who plan to pursue a doctorate. Graduates from other universities may also be funded if they pursue a doctorate at Humboldt-Universität.
ELIGIBILITY:
Outstanding Master’s students as well as graduates who plan to pursue their doctorate at Humboldt-Universität or – if graduated from Humboldt-Universität – at another university in Germany or abroad. To enable more prospective doctoral candidates with disabilities or chronic illnesses to prepare for a doctorate, applications from this target group will be given particular consideration.
Excellent academic results or an excellent degree and an original, high-quality proposal of the doctoral project.
Please note: If the Master’s degree (or equivalent) wasn’t obtainedwithin the last six months prior to the date of application, you need to give reasons why you still qualify for a start-up funding! You need to find a professor from Humboldt-Universität who agrees to write an expert review for you and to act as your mentor during the funding period before you submit your application!
BENEFIT:
Funding of 800 EUR per month is awarded for up to six months. Scholarship holders with children receive an additional 400 EUR a month for the first child, plus 100 EUR for each additional child. In exceptional cases, funding can be extended for up to an additional six months
