The University College London (UCL), renowned for its excellence in research, innovation, and education, invites applications for the UCL Global Master’s Scholarship Program 2026. This initiative is specifically designed to support international students from lower-income backgrounds who aspire to pursue a full-time Master’s degree at UCL.
UCL, founded in 1826 in London’s vibrant heart, is a leading institution with over 51,000 students from more than 150 countries. UCL fosters a diverse academic community that embraces critical thinking and innovative research to address real-world challenges.
There are up to 85 (eighty-five) scholarships available in 2026/27 with five ring-fenced for students from India, and one for a student from Japan. The value of the bursary is £15,000. The scholarship is tenable for one year only unless the full-time program is 2yrs in length. In that case the scholarship will be paid 50% in each year. The UCL Global Masters Scholarship may be held alongside other scholarships, studentships, awards, or bursaries depending on the total value of other funds received by the student.
Scholarship recipients are obliged to inform the UCL Student Funding Office immediately of any other funding they are awarded towards their UCL Master’s degree studies, before or subsequent to the UCL Global Masters Scholarship being awarded. The scholarship will first be applied to the recipient’s tuition fees, with any remainder payable to the recipient in three equal instalments, throughout the academic year, towards maintenance.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Applicants must be from outside the UK and eligible to pay the Overseas fee rate.
- They should come from a lower-income background.
- A complete application for a full-time Master’s degree at UCL for 2026/27 must be submitted.
Awards:-
- Up to 85 scholarships are available for the academic year 2026/27.
- Five scholarships are reserved for students from India and one for a student from Japan.
- Each scholarship is valued at £15,000, applicable for one year unless the program duration is two years, in which case the award is split equally across both years.
- This scholarship can be combined with other financial aids, provided the total funding does not exceed a specified amount.
