Application information: All applicants will be updated on the outcome of their application by the end of September. Please note that UCL ordinarily requires those with confirmed offers to pay a tuition fee deposit of £2,000 within 4 weeks of an offer being made. Please contact cs.pgt-admissions@ucl.ac.uk, ideally within 1 week of receiving an 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.
