Applications for the Global Wales Postgraduate Scholarship will open on 12 February 2024 and close on 30 April 2024.

The Global Wales Postgraduate Scholarship programme offers scholarships worth up to £10,000 - to study a full-time masters programme in Wales. The scholarships are available to students from Vietnam, India, USA, Canada and countries of the European Union. This prestigious scheme is the first scholarship of its kind in Wales and is offered by the Global Wales Programme – a partnership between the Welsh Government, Universities Wales, British Council Wales and HEFCW, and is funded by Taith.

All universities in Wales offer the Global Wales Postgraduate Scholarship, and you need to have already applied for a place to study an eligible postgraduate programme before you submit your scholarship application.

You can now make up to three applications to different Welsh universities, providing you have applied for all the courses and universities that you are seeking a scholarship for.
