FULL SCHOLARSHIP FOR STUDY IN UK

The aim of the scholarship is to enable academically outstanding students from developing Commonwealth countries to experience a postgraduate British education which would otherwise be out of their reach due to financial constraints. The successful candidate will receive payment of programme tuition fees, the cost of air fares to and from the UK, a maintenance stipend of about £800 per month and additional bursaries for thesis costs and study-related travel
