This scholarship provides a £7,000 fee waiver for a full-time, part-time or online taught master’s course at one of UAL's Colleges and Institutes. 180 UAL Home Postgraduate Scholarships are available through two routes, each with different eligibility criteria.

Eligibility

If you think you meet the criteria for Route 1 and 2, we recommend you complete each scholarship application form to be considered for both.

1. assessed as a Home student for tuition fee purposes. EU and other non-UK nationals who qualify for the Home tuition fee status will also be eligible to apply; and

2. hold an offer to study a full-time or part-time taught master’s course at UAL taught in-person, online or low residency. Your course must offer either a Grad Dip, M ARCH, MA, MBA, MFA, MRes or MSc qualification; and
