Durham Inspiring Excellence PostgraduateScholarship 2027
All Information
This scholarship supports high-achieving international students enrolling in eligible postgraduate taught programmes at Durham University. It recognises academic achievement and the potential to make a positive contribution after graduation. The award reduces tuition fees, helping successful candidates lower the cost of a one-year master's degree. Selection considers academic performance and the applicant's potential for future impact. This is a partial scholarship rather than a fully funded award, so students should plan separately for living expenses and any remaining tuition balance.
