College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow - Biotechnology - International Programme Scholarship

Biotechnology International Programme Scholarship

You will receive a discount of 10,000 EUR on your tuition fees for the one-year Master’s programme in ‘Biotechnology’ at the University of Glasgow. The programme lasts 12 months on a full-time basis and takes place on the Gilmorehill Campus in Scotland. You will undertake training in laboratory-based natural sciences, ranging from molecular biology and microbiology to working with proteins and a research project. The degree is awarded by the university’s College of Medical, Veterinary & Life Sciences.

Who can apply

• Course: You have been offered a place on the Master’s programme in ‘Biotechnology’ in Glasgow.
• Grades: Your first university degree must be at least equivalent to the British 2:1 honours level (very good ‘Upper Second Class’ results) or an equivalent qualification in your country.
• Where you come from: You can apply from any country, provided you pay the fee for international applications.
• Background: You’re facing challenges as you move on to postgraduate study.

How to apply

First, secure a place on the Master’s programme in ‘Biotechnology’. You should then apply for the scholarship via the university’s funding pages. The application deadline is 2 June.

How realistic are your chances?

This funding is tied to a specific Master’s programme at a specific university, meaning that the pool of eligible applicants is small compared with open, university-wide scholarships. If you have already been admitted to the MSc programme in Biotechnology, meet the grade requirements 2:1 and can demonstrate that you face challenges in undertaking postgraduate study, your chances are good. As places are limited, it is advisable to apply well in advance of the June deadline.
