UCL Genetics Institute Masters Excellence Scholarship (MSc Genetics of Human Disease 2013 entry)

MRC-funded Scholarships are available for up to four academically outstanding students to study towards a Masters in Genetics of Human Disease taught at the UCL Genetics Institute, London. These scholarships are to celebrate academic excellence in our student population. If you hold a firm offer to study with us in September 2012 and have already achieved excellent entry qualifications or are expected to gain them, then this is the scholarship for you.

Please do not apply for this scholarship until you've been offered a place to study at the UCL. You need to provide a copy of your offer letter with your scholarship application.

How much? The successful applicants will be awarded £4200 towards tuition fees plus a stipend of £15,740 for living expenses.

Who can apply? The Scholarship will be awarded competitively to an outstanding student who must hold a first or upper second class honour degree from a UK university. Qualifications, or a combination of qualifications and experience, which demonstrate equivalent ability and attainment should also be considered. Applications will only be accepted from students in the academic year prior to them starting the MSc in the academic year 2012-13.
