For all postgraduate taught courses starting in September 2016 within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, the University is offering graduates from India the opportunity to apply for one of six scholarships worth £5,000 through the GREAT Scholarships - India programme.
WHY STUDY ENGINEERING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SURREY?
The home of some of the world’s greatest engineers – from George Stephenson (inventor of the public railway) to Tim Berners-Lee (the world-wide web) – the UK has a long tradition of engineering, and offers qualifications that are recognised throughout the world.
Enabling you to gain a deep insight into a specialised field by studying in a research-focused institution with close links to industry, a Masters qualification from the University of Surrey gives you a significant advantage in your future career.
The University of Surrey is at the forefront of international research in many areas of engineering, hosting world-renowned research centres such as:
- The Surrey Space Centre
- The Robens Centre for Public and Environmental Health
- The 5G Innovation Centre
The University has a strong ethos of working closely with industry and recently entered a formal partnership with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the UK’s national measurement institute, which will underpin research projects in fields from advanced manufacturing to healthcare.
HOW THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME WORKS
The GREAT Scholarship – India programme is aimed at high-calibre Indian students who want to study for a postgraduate programme in engineering.

HOW TO APPLY
To apply, you will need to complete the online form.
As part of your application you will need to answer this question, in no more than 400 words:
"Sometimes misunderstood, engineering is a profession offering endless creative possibilities. What inspires and excites you most about engineering (is it the opportunity to innovate…to be part of the future…to collaborate with other great minds?) and how do you hope to change the world for the better through engineering?"
The final application deadline is Monday 20 June, 12pm GMT.
Successful applicants will be notified by email after the closing date. To secure the offer, a deposit must be paid by the deposit deadline. The award will be paid in the form of a fee discount.
