Summary

Strathclyde Business School is pleased to announce its first round of Dean's Excellence Awards for the upcoming September 2025 intake.  We invite applicants who hold an offer of a place on a September 2025 SBS MSc programme and are classified as international for fee status, to apply.  The scholarships will range from £9,000 to £12,000 depending on the specific subject area and course fees.

The scholarships will be awarded on merit, rather than financial need, to candidates who can demonstrate excellent academic performance (current/and or previously gained), any relevant extra-curricular or professional experience and career development, and who will contribute to the overall academic, cultural and experiential of the programme cohort.  The committee will consider both the scholarship and MSc programme applications in their decision making process.

The first tranche of scholarships will be awarded on a rolling basis from February 2025, and the final deadline for consideration will be 30th April 2025.  Successful applicants will be notified of the Scholarship Committee's decision within two weeks of submitting their scholarship application.
