2026 University College London (UCL) Global Master’s Scholarship UK Details

The University College London (UCL) Global Master’s Scholarship aims to enable and encourage international students from lower-income backgrounds to pursue full-time Master’s degree studies at UCL.

There are up to 85 (eighty-five) scholarships available in 2026/2027, with five aimed specifically at students from India.

The scholarship is tenable for one year only unless the full-time programme is 2 years in length.  In that case, the scholarship will be paid 50% in each year.

The UCL Global Masters Scholarship may be held alongside other scholarships, studentships, awards, or bursaries, depending on the total value of other funds received by the student.

Scholarship recipients are obliged to inform the UCL Student Funding Office immediately of any other funding they are awarded towards their UCL Master’s degree studies, before or after the UCL Global Master’s Scholarship being awarded.

The scholarship will first be applied to the recipient’s tuition fees, with any remainder payable to the recipient in three equal instalments throughout the academic year, towards maintenance.
