Please check the ‘Additional Costs’ section of the prospectus for your programme. This could include fieldtrips, laptop requirements and additonal equipment. If you have any concerns about additional costs please contact the department.  

  • Scholarship recipients are obliged to inform the UCL Student Funding Office immediately of any other funding they are awarded towards their UCL Master’s degree studies, before or subsequent to the UCL East London Scholarship being awarded.

Selection

The bursary is awarded on the basis of financial need and upon the recommendation of the Student Funding Office. UCL recognises the following as impactors of financial need: dependent children, disabilities, experience of care, receiving state benefits, forced migration (refugee, asylum seeker, those who have been granted a temporary form of leave as the result of an asylum or human rights application).

How to apply

If you are intended to study on a full-time or part-time basis, please visit the Masters Funding Awards page for information on how to apply. 

As the Masters Funding Awards are not open to students studying on a Modular/Flexible basis, if you are intending to enrol on that mode of study and would like to be considered for the UCL East London Scholarship please complete this application form: UCL East London application 2024/25 for Modular/Flexible students.

The deadline for applications to this scholarship will be at 5pm BST, Thursday 20 June 2024.
