The University of Otago Coursework Master’s Scholarship is open to both domestic and international applicants, and is for students studying Master’s degrees which don’t include a full thesis component (although they may include a research report or dissertation).
Some degrees also have a thesis or non-thesis option (usually with the decision made after an initial year of study). In such cases the non-thesis option is eligible for coursework Master’s scholarship support. Note that coursework Master’s scholarships are not available to research master’s students completing a papers year prior to beginning their thesis.
Applications for coursework Master's scholarships should occur:
- when applying for admission, in which case the scholarship application should be uploaded as part of the online admission application process.
In cases where a thesis/non-thesis decision must be made, and where a non-thesis option is decided upon after an initial period of study, an application may be made directly to the Head of your Department after the initial (pre-research project) papers for the degree have been completed.
Apart from this one exception, it is not possible to apply for a coursework Master’s scholarship after admission to the programme.
For more information and application please visit the University of Otago Coursework Master’s Scholarship page.
