Further Information

• The £7,000 scholarship cannot be awarded in conjunction with any funding (full or partial) from an external sponsor**, excluding a loan, which has to be paid back in full. If you are receiving a loan (which has to be paid back in full) from an organisation to which we offer a discount, you are not able to combine this scholarship with the discount - the most valuable award will take precedence.
• The scholarship cannot be awarded in conjunction with any other scholarship or discount offered by the University unless explicitly stated.
• You must accept both your PGT offer and your pre-sessional English course offer if you are studying both.
• If you accept your first offer by the deadline, but then later apply for and accept a different offer for a different programme, you will still be eligible for the scholarship.
• Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) and Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) courses are ineligible for the International Postgraduate Taught Scholarship 2027.
• You must be self-funded and classified as overseas for tuition fee purposes.
• You must study a course in full at the University of Sheffield. Masters programmes split between the University of Sheffield and a partner institution are not eligible for a scholarship.

• The scholarship is for full-time students only. Students studying online or via distance learning are not eligible for the scholarship.
• This scholarship is available to students from the University of Sheffield International College (USIC).
• These scholarships are not applicable to any postgraduate courses where the higher clinical fee is applicable.
• If you are studying a 2-year masters programme the £7,000 scholarship will be available in the second year of your studies subject to successful completion of year 1.
• The scholarship is not applicable to any years in industry or study abroad years that are compulsory or optional elements of your course.
• This scholarship cannot be deferred to a future year of entry. If you decide to defer entry to another year you forfeit this award.
• For scholarship purposes all MArch programmes are considered as postgraduate taught programmes so are eligible for this scholarship.
• It is your responsibility to ensure you receive any funding you are eligible for. Funding cannot be backdated to previous years regardless of eligibility.

• A sponsored student is defined as being an individual in receipt of a total sum of funds from either the University or an external organisation** that matches or exceeds the original tuition fee required by the University.
