The University of Glasgow in UK offers for the academic session 2018-2019, 4 (four) fees-only Scholarships for students wishing to take the MRes in Human Geography. They are not able to cover the full fee, unfortunately, or to provide a stipend to cover living expenses.
The awarding of these Scholarships will be competitive, based in part upon student performance in undergraduate degree programmes, and hence we will not be able to make decisions until later in July when we gain full information about student degree performance.
If you wish to be considered for option (1), one of the basic £5,000 scholarships, then you simply make the normal application through the University of Glasgow Taught Postgraduate online application system, with no additional documentation specifying research interests. Please ensure that your application arrives and is logged on the system, with all necessary additional material such as references and transcripts, by Friday 22nd June, 2018.
Worth of Award
- (1) 1 x £5,000 Scholarships – where GES will pay £5,000 towards your fees (which this year are £7650 in total, and hence GES is agreeing to pay a substantial proportion of that amount);
- (2) 3 x £5,000 Scholarships – on the same basis as (1) above – but with the added specification that these awards are for students who commit to focussing their MRes dissertation work on the theme of ‘Stressed Environments and Communities’ (SEC: taking seriously both natural landscapes and socio-cultural processes).
- These scholarships are open to all applicants, Home/EU and ‘Overseas’, although we acknowledge that the £5,000 will go much further to cover the cost of a Home/EU fees than it will to cover the cost of an ‘Overseas’ fee.
Eligibility
- These scholarships are open to all applicants, Home/EU and ‘Overseas’,
- Applicants must have completed – or will have completed by the end of June 2018 – an undergraduate degree in Geography or a related subject (eg. Environmental Studies/Science, Anthropology, Sociology, Political Science, History, Cultural Studies).
- They must normally have secured – or will secure – a 1st-class-degree classification.
- There must be no legal reasons why they cannot be resident in the UK undertaking higher education.
