became the first prime minister and later president of Tanzania. Nyerere
received a scholarship in 1949 to attend the University of Edinburgh
where he obtained a Masters of Arts degree that saw him study courses in
English, Political Economy, Social Anthropology, British History,
Economic History, Constitutional Law, and Moral Philosophy.The Julius Nyerere Master's Scholarships will cover the full overseas tuition fee, living costs of £10,000, and a return flight from Tanzania to the UK. The scholarships will be tenable for one academic year. |
