Commonwealth Shared Scholarships

A partnership between the United Kingdom government and UK Universities.

For 2011 the range of opportunities listed in the following pages is wide and will provide recipients of the Shared Scholarships with the skills and knowledge to assist in the development of their home countries.
Candidates are normally expected to hold a first degree at either first class or upper second-class level. Sponsoring institutions must confirm that candidates are sufficiently fluent in written and oral English to pursue their proposed studies immediately, as no pre-course English Language Teaching is available under these awards. Candidates who have already studied for one year or more in a developed country or who possess sufficient resources to self-fund, are not eligible for an award.
