UK Excellence Masters Scholarships

The UK Excellence Masters Scholarships are offered by the University of Leeds to recognize and reward high academic achievement for UK students. The university provides over 30 scholarships, each worth £5,000, for students wishing to pursue a full-time taught Masters degree starting in September 2026. The awards are designed to support high-achieving students who demonstrate an excellent academic track record and are expected to attain at least a 2:1 Bachelor's degree or equivalent. The scholarships are awarded as tuition fee reductions and are open to self-funding students, including those receiving support from friends, relatives, or UK government postgraduate loans. Applications are only accepted from students who have already received a conditional or unconditional offer for a Masters course at the University of Leeds.
