Application criteria and Scholarship details
To qualify for a scholarship an applicant (Home or EU) will need to fulfil all of the following criteria.
Successful applicants must:

• Ensure that their application reaches the Student Money Service by the advertised deadline. Applicants and not the University (or its staff) are entirely responsible for meeting this element of the criteria.
• Gain a first class honours degree or an upper second class honours degree or equivalent qualification (students with qualifications gained from outside the UK will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis)
• Be offered a place on an eligible, taught Masters course, accept this offer and enrol on the course within the appropriate timeframe.

• Graduates from other Universities may apply for a scholarship totalling £1,500.
• You can apply for the scholarship before the announcement of your degree results but the scholarship will only be confirmed following acceptance by the student of a place on an eligible course, and provision of suitable evidence clearly demonstrating their first class or upper second class honours degree.
• Students with qualifications from outside of the UK will be dealt with on an individual basis.
• To be considered for the scholarship, applicants must have a first class honours degree or an upper second class honours degree or equivalent qualification. Equivalence will be determined by the University of Glamorgan whose decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.
• Students repeating a course at the University of Glamorgan will not be eligible for a scholarship. (Students granted mitigating circumstances by the University will be considered on an individual basis).

• The scholarship will be paid directly into successful applicants’ bank account via BACS with £1,000 or £1,500 payable approximately 4 months after successfully enrolling and studying on the course. The remaining £500 will be provided after successful completion of the Masters, within the standard time allowed. Applicants also have the option of requesting that their scholarship payments go directly towards paying off their tuition fees.
