The University of Edinburgh will offer two scholarships for postgraduate study in any subject offered by the University to students from Southern African countries.
One of the scholarships will be available for a one year Master's degree programme and the other scholarship for a three year PhD degree programme.
The scholarship covers the overseas rate of tuition fee and University accommodation for the duration of the postgraduate degree programme.
Applicants should already have been offered a place at the University of Edinburgh and should have firmly accepted that offer or be intending to do so.
The scholarship will be awarded on academic merit basis. Candidates are expected to have the international equivalent of a UK first class or honour’s degree at undergraduate level.
The closing date for applications for these scholarships is 30 April 2012.
