Geoffrey Ma Birmingham Hong Kong Masters Scholarship

The Geoffrey Ma Birmingham Hong Kong Masters Scholarship is funded by The University of Birmingham Hong Kong Foundation in honour of the Foundation's first Honorary President, Geoffrey Ma, who held the position of Chief Justice of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal. The scholarship provides financial support to academically talented students from Hong Kong to pursue postgraduate taught master's programmes at the University of Birmingham UK campus. Awards of £10,000 are available towards tuition fees for the 2026/27 academic year. Recipients must demonstrate excellent academic background with a 2.1 in a bachelor's degree or equivalent, have received and accepted an offer to a full-time one-year master's taught programme starting September 2026, and be classified as Hong Kong domiciled overseas fee payers. Applications must be submitted through approved local representatives (AAS Education, Aston Education, IDP Education, LinkedU, or SI-UK Hong Kong) by 19 July 2026. Selection is based on academic performance and a 150-200 word summary on 'Why Birmingham', with shortlisted candidates interviewed in August 2026. The scholarship cannot be combined with other full University of Birmingham scholarships and may not be deferred.
