Application information: 

UCL ordinarily requires those with confirmed offers to pay a tuition fee deposit within 4 weeks of an offer being made. Please notify the Graduate Admissions Office, via their contact form, ideally within 1 week of receiving a programme offer to confirm your scholarship application, so UCL’s systems can be updated to defer your deposit date before it becomes due. This will postpone your deposit due date until after scholarship decisions have been made, at which point, non-awardees will become liable for the full amount of the deposit.

For enquiries about this scholarship, please email csc.mscscholarship@ucl.ac.uk.
