Students will receive comprehensive support to remove barriers to study in Edinburgh and will benefit from extracurricular opportunities including retreats and internships.

  • MSc Sustainable Energy Systems

  • 21 scholarships are available for the 2021/22 academic year, which will cover the full tuition fees and expenses for accommodation and maintenance.

Eligibility

  • Applicants must have graduated no later than September 2020;
  • Applicants must be a resident and citizen of a Sub-Saharan African country. Applicants currently residing outside of this region for education reasons only can still apply;
  • Applicants must demonstrate a track record of leadership and service within their community;
  • Applicants are able to present economic circumstances which show they lack financial means to pursue higher education in their home country or elsewhere;
  • Applicants must want to study one of the eligible degree programmes at the University of Edinburgh;
  • Applicants must qualify academically for admission to the degree programme of their choice;
  • Applicants should not have completed a postgraduate degree previously and should not be enrolled at a separate university while on scholarship.
