Funding and Scholarships
There are a number of UEA scholarships and awards that postgraduate applicants who are not receiving full funding from external sources may be eligible for:
International Scholarships
We offer International Scholarships to well qualified applicants. These are typically £1,000 per year. Applicants who are offered £1,000, and who receive an offer by 30 April 2012, will also be considered for a larger scholarship equal to 50% of international fees (ie over £4,000).
The UEA International Office also offers bursaries to postgraduate taught students.
The Damien Devine Scholarships
For 2012/13, the University will award up to three scholarships, known as The Damien Devine Scholarships, to students who apply for the MSc Finance and Economics. The Scholarship will cover the UK/EU tuition fee rate and may only be used towards payment of tuition fees. International students are welcome to apply but must be able to pay the difference between UK/EU fees and international fees. All applicants will be considered for the award. No separate application is necessary. Selection for the award will be based on academic excellence and content of the personal statement. The deadline for the scholarship application is 31 May 2012.
The scholarship cannot be cumulated with other UEA scholarships.
