University of Westminster International Postgraduate Excellence Scholarship

The University of Westminster International Postgraduate Excellence Award is designed to support international students who have achieved academic excellence and show passion for their chosen field of study. It offers scholarships for high-achieving international students, covering £3,000 towards full-time Master’s tuition fees.

The award is for students who are classified as overseas fee status and hold an offer for a full-time Master’s course starting in January. It states an amount of £3,000 for one year full-time Master’s courses and £5,000 for the two-year Master’s with an Integrated Professional Year Experience programme.

Applicants will be selected principally on the basis of academic excellence. The eligibility section also sets out groups that are not eligible, including applicants for Professional courses such as RIBA part III, Doctoral programmes, Online or Distance learning courses, Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma courses, and those eligible for another discount on course fees (such as alumni discount or partner student discount).

The page sets the award amount as a fee contribution and notes that this amount cannot go towards the £5,500 deposit payment required to secure a CAS (student visa).
