Commonwealth Shared Scholarships 2027/28
All Information
The Commonwealth Shared Scholarships programme supports talented students from eligible developing Commonwealth countries who would not otherwise be able to afford postgraduate study in the United Kingdom. It funds selected one-year Master’s courses at participating universities, particularly courses connected to sustainable development and the development needs of applicants’ home countries. Recipients are expected to use the knowledge and skills gained to contribute to their home countries after completing their studies. This is a strong fully funded opportunity for eligible applicants seeking a taught Master’s degree rather than an undergraduate or doctoral programme.
