Eligibility

To be eligible for this scholarship, you must:

  • have accepted an offer to study an eligible full time Masters course at Sussex
  • have or expect to achieve a first class bachelor's degree from the UK or the equivalent of a bachelors degree with excellent grades from a European Union (EU) university.

This scholarship is highly competitive, especially as there is a limited number of awards available, and getting the eligible grade doesn't guarantee you'll be selected for a scholarship.
