The University of Strathclyde Faculty of Engineering International Scholarship for January 2027 offers eligible international students a £6,000 tuition fee award to begin a full-time, taught Master’s programme in the Faculty of Engineering.
The scholarship is intended for self-funded international, non-EU fee-paying students joining an eligible full-time, on-campus programme at the University of Strathclyde’s Glasgow campus.
The scholarship is awarded automatically to eligible offer holders, meaning students do not need to submit a separate scholarship application. The £6,000 award is deducted directly from the student’s tuition fees after the student pays the required deposit.
For January 2027 entry, the scholarship deadline is 30 November 2026.

Eligible Nationalities
The scholarship is intended for international, non-EU fee-paying students.
Eligible applicants can come from countries outside the EU, provided they meet the scholarship and programme requirements.
Applicants must be classified as international fee-paying students by the University of Strathclyde. Nationality alone does not determine eligibility because the university also considers the applicant’s fee status.

Applicants for the January 2027 Faculty of Engineering International Scholarship must generally:
- Be an international, non-EU fee-paying student.
- Be self-funded.
- Hold an offer to study an eligible postgraduate taught course.

Students are eligible for only one scholarship from the University of Strathclyde per academic year.
The scholarship cannot be deferred or transferred to another entry point.
Self-Funded Requirement
- Applicants must be self-funded international students.
- Students who receive full sponsorship from a government office or embassy are not eligible for the Faculty of Engineering International Scholarship.
- Applicants should therefore carefully consider their existing sponsorship or scholarship arrangements before relying on this award.

Depending on the course, applicants may need to provide:
- Certified academic transcripts or semester mark sheets

- Passport copy
- CV, particularly where required by the programme or where the applicant has been out of full-time education for more than two years
- Details of two nominated referees
- Sponsor or scholarship letter, if applicable
- Other programme-specific supporting documents
Applicants should check the individual course page for the exact admission documentation required.
How Winners Are Selected
The scholarship is automatically awarded to eligible offer holders rather than through a separate competitive scholarship application.
The university checks whether the applicant meets the published eligibility requirements, including:
- International fee status
- Self-funded status
- Eligible postgraduate taught programme
- Full-time study
- January 2027 entry
- On-campus study

Dean’s International Excellence Awards
