University of the Arts London International Graduate Scholarships for Foreign (Non-UK, Non-EU) Students

Scholarship Description: The University of the Arts London International Graduate Scholarships aim to promote postgraduate study. These awards will be offered to international students only (this excludes students classified as European and British for fee purposes) with the ability and potential to make an exceptional contribution to the worlds of art, design, fashion, communication and performance.

The scholarships will be awarded to carefully selected students accepted to study on specific MA programmes at the University of the Arts London, for enrolment in academic year 2013/2014.

Requirements of Scholarship Holders: 
 Applicants must enrol on their programme in the same academic year for which they have applied for funding. If any applicant is unable to do this for any reason, the scholarship will be withdrawn.

Scholarship holders are expected to attend all timetabled classes and tutorials, except in periods of absence due to illness. Attendance will be monitored and any student with an unacceptable attendance record risks termination of their Scholarship.
Award holders are expected to attend a small number of College and University promotional events. Such events may occur during and/or after completion of the award holder’s course.

The University will terminate the award if registration lapses on any grounds, other than temporary suspension of study due to extenuating circumstances. These circumstances must be drawn to the attention of the relevant course director through formal procedures and upheld by the College Extenuating Circumstances Panel.

UAL realizes you may have already submitted a portfolio with your course application however portfolios are often returned to students or destroyed so you must submit a new one with your scholarship application.
