Contents

The University of Edinburgh has a strong history of global partnership, community, and exchange. We uphold a tradition of celebrating diversity and embracing international students, who enrich the student body and the extraordinary educational experience we offer. 

The Scholarship Award

The University is offering an international scholarship for the most academically gifted Postgraduate Taught (PGT) Masters students applying from India. These awards, which cover £5,000 towards tuition fees for PGT Masters students studying on campus during the 2025/26 academic year, will be tenable for the first year of study only.

Eligibility Criteria 

The India Merit Scholarship will be awarded to any successful applicant who:  

  • Firmly accepts an unconditional offer to join any of the University’s full-time, on-campus PGT Masters programmes. If you are required to pay a programme deposit for your Masters programme, and you do not accept and pay the required deposit within the given time frame, then you will forfeit your scholarship offer as well as your programme offer.

  • Is domiciled in India at the time of application.

  • Is either fully or partially self-funded.

  • Has achieved an undergraduate degree studied and awarded in India at the minimum level outlined in Tables 1 and 2 below. This excludes graduates with dentistry, medicine and veterinary medicine degrees awarded in India, who will all be eligible for the Scholarship. Please note that eligibility criteria will be assessed solely on your primary grading scale. Where a GPA is provided, students will be assessed by the GPA as the primary grade, even when a percentage is also provided.
