WMG Scholarships, University of Warwick

WMG will be awarding over £600,000 in scholarships and bursaries to students commencing study on our full-time MSc programmes beginning in October 2016.

Scholarships are available on a competitive basis and must be applied for using this Scholarship Application Form. You must use our standard Word template to submit your statement.

Awards will be based on past academic achievement and a short essay (400 words max) demonstrating to the scholarships committee why you should be considered for the award. This may refer to your previous experience, extracurricular activities, reasons for study, and your vision for the future. We advise you to concentrate on your achievements as the scholarship committee cannot make a judgement on your financial affairs.

WMG Bursaries

Bursaries are guaranteed to students from Latin America, Syria and Turkey. More details of these bursaries will be available soon.

You do not need to apply for a bursary, it will be applied automatically by the admissions team when we make an offer. Students with WMG Bursaries can still apply for WMG Scholarships. Where successful, the scholarship will replace the bursary. Two WMG awards cannot be awarded to the same individual.

Banco Santander Awards are available for students from certain countries in Latin America.

Early Acceptance Scheme

If you have an MSc offer from us, you can request a place on the Early Acceptance Scheme (EAS). Once accepted onto the scheme you must pay a £500 deposit which is credited to your tuition fee account. This deposit must be paid within 2 weeks of acceptance onto the scheme. In return, WMG will give you a £1000 discount on your overall fees (£500 discount for home/EU fee payers).

If you wish to apply, you can request a place using this form; you must already hold a conditional or unconditional MSc offer from WMG before you apply.

Send no money now, we will advise you how to pay your deposit if you are allocated a place.

• We will not accept EAS applications or deposit payments from an agent or third party.
• Places on the scheme are very strictly limited and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. We expect the scheme to fill very quickly so we recommend you apply as soon as possible.
• Places on EAS are limited and are pre-allocated by region to ensure a fair distribution of places.
• The scheme is only available to students who have offers for the full-time MSc courses run by WMG in the UK, it is not transferrable to any other courses.
• The Early Acceptance Scheme is available to students paying home/EU fees, but the fee discount is £500 to reflect the lower home fee rate.
