The School of
Languages and Social Sciences is offering three scholarships to
students from Africa and South America. Scholarships are supported by the Ferguson
Foundation which is dedicated to improving educational opportunities for
students who would not otherwise be able to consider study in the UK.
The scholarships
are available to students applying to on campus programmes offered in the
School of Languages and Social Sciences.
If
successful, you will receive a scholarship of approximately £6,000 towards
the cost of your MA course fees. You will have to contribute £6,000 (approx)
towards your MA tuition fees.
The deadline for
applications is 30 April 2013.

- Write a two page letter stating why you feel you deserve the scholarship, how you hope to benefit from the opportunity and the contribution you hope to make in your home country following the degree.
- Submit a 2000-3000 word essay on one of the following topics:

enhance your prospects?
2. What would you be able to contribute to other
students in your group?
3. Describe a significant success or failure from
your professional experience and explain what you discovered as a result.
