To apply applicants must:

• Have been accepted onto the MSc

Deadlines
The deadline for scholarship applications is 30 June 2013. Decisions will be made in the first 2 weeks of July and communicated to applicants by the end of July.

Decision making
We will use information you supply in the University MSc application process on your educational background, your personal statement, and the 2 academic references, and supplement this with:

• Explain how your attainment of this MSc will benefit your career (250 words)
• Explain how your attainment of this MSc will benefit the service you work in (250 words)
• What is it about this course that makes you want to study with the University of Edinburgh? (200 words)

Each question will be scored by four assessors, and applications with the highest score will be in contention.  Where it is not possible to discern between high-quality applications, decisions will be made by lottery.  Priority will be given to those who are in their first 10 years post-qualifying as a doctor. 

Term and conditions
RCPE reserves the right to adjust award of scholarships if we do not receive applications from suitably qualified candidates for all scholarships listed.

The scholarships will be paid directly to the University of Edinburgh Tuition Fees department, at the start of each academic year.  Recipients of all scholarships are expected to obtain passes at Masters level (50%) each year in order to qualify for the next year of funding.  Students who pass at 50% or higher and wish to defer for a year before resuming their studies will be able to defer the subsequent years of the scholarship at the College’s discretion.  Alternatively, they may conclude their studies with the Certificate (after one year) or Diploma (after 2 years).

Students who are funded at any point of the course by a sponsor (i.e. have their tuition fees paid by an employer, industry or government sponsor, charity or third-party organisation) are not eligible to apply.  Scholarship recipients must advise the RCPE if at any time you obtain funding from another source and stop being self-funding.  In such cases the RCPE scholarship will be offered to another student, who is self-funding.

Scholarship recipients will be required to submit an end-of-programme report at the conclusion of their studies. 

We would like to publish limited details of scholarship recipients (name, country, photograph, brief biography) online on either or both of the RCPE of the University of Edinburgh websites, and possibly also on printed materials.  If selected, we will seek your permission to do this.

International Scholarships at University of Brighton, UK

In 2013, 40 University of Brighton international scholarships worth a reduction of £4,000 off the cost of your tuition fees for each year of your course are available to new, full-time international undergraduate and postgraduate taught-degree students.

Criteria

The criteria for awarding University of Brighton international scholarships are primarily merit-based. Merit does not necessarily have to mean academic merit but could also be interpreted to include outstanding performance in a variety of spheres.

The strongest candidates will be those demonstrating a mixture of academic merit (including English language ability) and other merit or outstanding achievement in a particular field of activity.

You will also need to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to pay the remainder of the fees.

Eligibility

In order to be eligible to apply for a scholarship you must be a new, full-time, international fee-status student on an undergraduate or postgraduate taught degree with a minimum course duration of 1 year. You must have applied for the course of your choice at the University of Brighton, and have been offered a place on that course for 2013 entry.

Students studying foundation degrees or undergraduate degrees at University of Brighton partner colleges or those on PG Cert/Dip courses (excluding OSPAP) are not eligible for these awards. Existing international students are not eligible unless starting a new undergraduate or postgraduate programme.

How to apply

For the 2013 academic year, please email internationalscholarships@brighton.ac.uk, with your applicant or UCAS number in the subject line, and we will send you a scholarship application pack.

The application form can then be returned electronically to the same email address or sent by post to the address indicated on the scholarship application form. Please note application forms will not be sent to students who do not have an offer of a full-time place with us.

Deadline for application

Requests for scholarship application forms will be considered from 1 October 2012 for 2013 entry. The final deadline for receiving scholarship applications back is 31 July 2013.

Before that date, early applications will be processed and awards made at the end of April 2013 and then the final awards will be made at the end of August. Decisions will be made by an Awards committee coordinated by the International Office, Registry, and decisions about scholarship awards will be communicated to applicants approximately two weeks after those dates.

You are advised to apply as early as possible after you have received our offer, as the number of scholarships is limited.

Please note any accompanying documentation will not be returned and the university's Scholarship Award Committee's decision is final.

Enquiries and advice

If you have any questions about these scholarships please contact the university's International Office for advice.
