Postgraduate Scholarships, Open Society Foundations / University of Nottingham, UK

The Open Society Foundations / University of Nottingham scholarships aim to provide opportunities for independent postgraduate study in the United Kingdom for students who have demonstrated both academic excellence and the potential to become leaders, decision makers, and opinion formers in their own country. Upon completion of their studies in the UK, scholars are expected to return to their home country to resume their studies or work there. Subject to satisfactory progress, the scholarships lead to the award of a master’s degree.

The scholarships are available for study for:

• MPA Public Health
• MPH Public Health (International Health)
• MA Environmental Management
• LLM in Human Rights Law (modules relating to Mental Disability and International Human Rights are available within these courses)
• LLM International Law
• MA Social and Global Justice
• MA Global Citizenship, Identities and Human Rights
• MA International Social Policy

Each scholarship provides twelve months’ tuition fees at the University of Nottingham, a stipend to cover living costs (for one person only), and return air travel from the scholar’s home country.
