About this opportunity

Commonwealth Master's Scholarships are for candidates from eligible low and middle income Commonwealth countries, to undertake full-time taught Master's study at a UK university. Funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), these scholarships enable talented and motivated individuals to gain the knowledge and skills required for sustainable development, and are aimed at those who could not otherwise afford to study in the UK. These scholarships are offered under six CSC development themes. As part of a partnership agreement between the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) and King's College London, scholars who are funded on this scholarship receive support towards their tuition fees from King's. All Commonwealth Scholars commit to returning home following the end of their scholarships to contribute to the development of their home countries.
