  1. The scholarship is applicable to each subsequent academic year of study, subject to achieving 60% (wmg) or above and achieving a minimum of 120 credits in the previous academic year. The scholarship is not applicable to any compulsory or optional years in industry, work placements or year abroad.
  2. You must enter a degree programme at the University of Sheffield in year 1. If you are entering in year 2 or year 3, you would be eligible for this scholarship, providing you are not receiving a scholarship/award as part of a collaborative programme with your home institution.

The Study UK campaign is offering scholarships from 71 UK universities to students across 18 countries around the world. It offers an exciting opportunity for students from these countries to get financial support to pursue postgraduate study in the UK. The scholarship programme offers awards of a minimum of £10,000 to students pursuing 1-year postgraduate study in the UK. The scholarship amount will be deducted from tuition fees.

1. Eligible programmes

All full-time postgraduate taught (on campus) programmes beginning in September 2026 are eligible. Part-time and two-year programmes are not eligible.

To be considered for an award, applicants must:

– Be an overseas fee-paying student.
– Hold an Indonesian or Pakistani passport.
– Hold an offer for a 1-year postgraduate taught programme at SOAS University of London beginning in September 2026.

Awards will be based on a combination of academic merit and the information given on the application form.

The GREAT Scholarships are sponsored by SOAS University of London and the British Council.

If you are successful in your application for this scholarship, you will be required to pay the CAS deposit of £4,000 as part of the conditions to accept the award. The CAS deposit is only refundable in a limited set of circumstances. 

You should be mindful of this if you are accepting this scholarship with a conditional offer.

You can apply for multiple scholarships and discounts, but only one can be accepted and applied to your tuition fees. Scholarships and discounts (e.g. alumni, family, or partnership discount) cannot be combined, so if you’re successful in more than one, you will need to choose the option with the highest value.
