Wageningen University & Research Opportunities

The 2027–28 Excellence Programme is considered through WUR MSc admissions rather than a separate scholarship application. Eligible MSc applicants are assessed by the WU Scholarship Selection Committee. Around March–April 2027, selected candidates are invited to a final-stage process that includes a lottery; awards are planned for 7 April 2027. The scholarship waives tuition for the two-year MSc but not living, insurance or residence-permit costs.

Applicants must be citizens outside the EU and EFTA, apply for a WUR MSc starting September 2027, submit a complete MSc application before 1 December 2026, obtain unconditional admission, and have a First Class honours bachelor's degree or equivalent with GPA of at least 80%. Required English evidence and the completed bachelor's diploma must be in the application before the scholarship deadline.
