Fully Funded Master Scholarship in Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Westminster in the UK

The University of Westminster offers Colin Matheson masterscholarshipwithin the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Colin Matheson dedicated over 30 years of loyal service to the University of Westminster and established the University’s scholarships programme. This has grown into one of the largest of its kind in the UK. Before his retirement in 2012, he had spent over a decade as Director of Scholarships, helping thousands of students from all over the world to achieve their goal of studying in the UK.

The Scholarships Office at the University of Westminster requires that, with some exceptions, each scholarship should have a voluntary hour requirement.

Paying the £4,000 deposit as an international scholarship applicant:

The University’s deposits scheme for international students means that if you hold an unconditional offer you will be required to make a payment of £4,000 before you are given a student visa support letter, which may be used to apply for your visa for entry to the UK.

As a scholarship applicant, you can wait until you know the outcome of your scholarship application before paying this deposit. It is recommended that you check with the UK Visas and Immigration on how long it takes to process visas during the June to August period. If you are awarded a full scholarship or a full fee scholarship you will not be required to pay this deposit and your admissions office will be notified of this. If you are awarded a half fee or part fee scholarship, you will be required to pay the £4,000 deposit.
