Overview
A limited number of ARIPO scholarships are available for brilliant but needy students entering KNUST's 2026/2027 MPhil in Intellectual Property programme.
Complete scholarship details
The 24-month MPhil in Intellectual Property runs from October 2026 to June 2028, with a residential first year at KNUST followed by a dissertation phase. ARIPO states that a limited number of scholarships will cover a return air ticket, board and lodging at KNUST, tuition and registration fees, and medical insurance. The official call does not state a cash stipend or scholarship count, so neither is inferred.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants need at least a recognised bachelor's degree at Second Class Lower level in a STEM or Social Science discipline and at least two years of work experience. Applicants from countries where English is not an official language must provide evidence of proficiency through an internationally approved English examination. Scholarship selection is limited to brilliant but needy students enrolling in the 2026/2027 academic year.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified against KNUST's official 2026/2027 call. The stated application deadline is 30 September 2026 with no closing time, so deadline_date is used. Funding components are included only as explicitly stated by KNUST.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
