Description
Queen Mary is proud to have hosted Commonwealth scholars for many years. Commonwealth Masters Scholarships are for candidates from low and middle income Commonwealth countries, for full-time study at a UK university.
Co-funded by Queen Mary and UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Commonwealth Masters Scholarships enable talented and motivated individuals to gain the knowledge and skills required for sustainable development, and are aimed at those who could not otherwise afford to study in the UK.
