For further details, see individual course entries. DFID Shared Scholarship Scheme Scholarships offered under the DFID Shared Scholarship Scheme cover Masters course tuition fees, living costs and air fares.

Candidates are normally expected to hold a first degree at either first class or upper second class level, and they must be sufficiently fluent in written and oral English to pursue their studies immediately. The maximum age limit is normally 35 at the time the award begins, but priority is given to candidates who will be under the age of 30 when their courses start.
Preference is given to candidates already established in a career.
