Global Wales Postgraduate Scholarship

Overview

This prestigious new scholarship programme, in collaboration with Study in Wales, is open to students from Vietnam, India, USA, Canada and countries of the European Union.

The Global Wales Postgraduate Scholarship Programme offers scholarships worth up to £10,000 - to study a full-time masters programme in Wales.

This prestigious scheme is the first scholarship of its kind in Wales and is offered by the Global Wales Programme – a partnership between the Welsh Government, Universities Wales, The British Council and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW), and is funded by Taith.

Global Wales scholars will be joining a network of like-minded elite international students, supported by events running throughout the year to complement their studies in Wales.
