About the Queen Mary Global Talent Scholarship
The Global Talent Scholarship is offered by Queen Mary University of London to support high-achieving international students enrolling in selected full-time postgraduate taught programmes.
The scholarship provides a £5,000 contribution towards tuition fees. Rather than being paid directly to students, the award is deducted from the tuition fees payable to the university when successful applicants enrol.
Students from all nationalities may apply, provided they meet the academic, admission and international fee-status requirements.
Applications are considered on a rolling basis, meaning awards may be allocated before the application process formally closes. Interested candidates are therefore encouraged to apply as soon as they receive an offer of admission.
