Scholarship: fully funded

Description

For September 2018 intake, the UCL School of Management is offering fully funded four/five year MRes/ Ph.D. scholarship to all admitted students.

The UCL School of Management is the business school of University College London and is located in Canary Wharf and Bloomsbury, London.

Eligibility

  • University seeks to recruit highly motivated, ambitious students with strong educational backgrounds. The ideal candidate will have a first class Bachelor’s degree from the UK or an overseas qualification of the equivalent standard from a leading university. We encourage students from a wide variety of backgrounds (e.g, engineering, economics, business, mathematics/statistics, psychology, sociology, among others) to apply to our programme. Also, notice that a Master’s or graduate level degree is not required for admission, you can apply with only an undergraduate (e.g. bachelors) degree;
  • Applicants are encouraged not to contact individual faculty members or potential supervisors when applying to our programme. All applications are first evaluated by a joint admissions committee, so contacting potential supervisors separately will not increase your chances. It is only in your personal statement that you are expected to suggest several faculty members as potential supervisors. But again, these faculty members need not be contacted beforehand. On the application form you may see that it states that it is preferred that you contact potential supervisors beforehand – please ignore this as it is not required;
  • All MRes/PhD applicants are normally required to take either a GMAT test or GRE test (UCL’s institution code is 3344, but also make sure you include a scanned copy of your test result on your Prism application), although the School has no minimum score requirements.

Scholarship

University offer fully funded four/five year MRes/ Ph.D. scholarships in the UCL School of Management to a significant number of admitted students. The scholarship is open to all nationalities and covers all tuition fees, and includes an annual stipend of GBP 16, 296 – GBP 18,500 which is tax-free.
