About This Opportunity

The Commonwealth Distance Learning programme is one of three Master's programmes offered by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission. Funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships enable talented and motivated individuals to access training and skills required for sustainable development not available in their home countries. These scholarships are for candidates from eligible low and middle income Commonwealth countries to undertake part-time taught Master's study with UK universities while remaining in their home countries. The scholarships are offered under six CSC development themes and aim to identify talented individuals who have the potential to make change. By attracting individuals with outstanding talent and identifiable potential from all backgrounds and supporting them to become leaders and innovators on returning to their home countries, the CSC's work combines sustainable development with the UK national interest and provides opportunities for international partnerships and collaboration.

Universities nominate chosen candidates in June, final results communicated by August
