Postgraduate Excellence Scholarship

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is offering scholarships worth £2000 for graduates with a first class honours or upper second class degree. The scholarships are available for a number of our postgraduate humanities, languages and social sciences courses.

These courses are at the heart of a Faculty that is home to a community of creative thinkers, with enviable strengths in creative writing and poetry, together with ground-breaking research that informs policy decision making in the social sciences.

The scholarships are available to full-time home & EU students for 20/21 entry for 16 of our postgraduate courses, from Creative Writing through to International Relations and Global Communications.

Eligibility is assessed at the point of admission to the programme and applied to fees as a discount.
