UCL Global Excellence Graduate Scholarships

Important Information for all Applicants
UCL Global Excellence Scholarships aim to reward academic excellence among new UCL students.
There are a total of eight scholarships per session for the academically most outstanding  graduate students joining UCL. Students enrolling on joint programmes (programmes run by UCL and another university) are not eligible. One graduate award is reserved for a student resident in each of the following regions:
  • The UK
  • Europe (excluding the UK, but including Russia)
  • Africa
  • Indian sub-continent and the Middle East 
  • China, North- and Central South-East Asia
  • Australasia
  • North America
  • Central and South America including the Caribbean
(List of countries and regions)

Eligibility Requirements

Students do not need to apply for the scholarship. Candidates must have applied for admission to UCL for degree study at graduate level to be considered for an award.
Each Academic Department must make their nominations for the awards by 28 March 2014 and so it is recommended that you apply for admission as early as possible.

Selection Criteria

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic excellence, achievement and potential. Financial circumstances of the candidates are not taken into account.
The region category for which you will be considered will be determined from your answer to the question on the admission application form which asks for your country of ordinary residence.

Value: Benefits and Duration

The scholarships consist of £5,000 and are tenable for one year only. Scholarship funds may be applied to fees or paid out in three instalments payable at the start of each term.

Nominations Deadline and Procedure

There is no application procedure for students. Candidates are nominated by Departments and Faculties.
Students must have received an offer of a place from the department by the final deadline of 11 April 2014 to be considered.

Graduate Selection and Notification of Results

A panel of UCL academics will select the recipients of the eight regional awards from nominations put forward by the Faculties, and will also identify reserve candidates.
Selection results will be announced to Faculties and successful candidates in June.

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK Comments: Mr John Major  is right about migrants in the UK and worldwide. Most of  migrants  leave their countries as asylum seekers fleeing persecution, lack of freedom and human rights abuses. Other leave their countries just to look for new opportunities. Arriving in the new countries such as UK , they work hard to survive. In most cases they have left their families and relatives. They have to share their earnings with the people their left behind and to support the education of their relatives.  They live in disadvantageous situations because they  are not  in the same situation like the British people who  have families that  help them to set up a business for example, pay their education, help them to raise funding or to get a bank loan, to inherit houses and other assets.
