Wellcome Award for Global Health & Social Justice MSc
The Global Health & Social Justice MSc awards a full scholarship (for three years) to one student per year.
This scholarship scheme, which began in 2019/20, seeks to provide you with an opportunity to prepare for a career at the intersections of global health, anthropology, ethics, philosophy and public policy. It is funded by the Wellcome Trust with additional support from the Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy.
ELIGIBILITY
The scholarship is open to all applicants to the Global Health & Social Justice M.Sc. The first scholarship will be awarded for entry to the 2019 session.
The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of academic merit and degree of motivation and commitment to understanding and addressing global health inequalities. We actively encourage applicants from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and from groups historically under-represented in postgraduate courses to help build a cohort of strong and diverse global health leaders.
SCHOLARSHIP WORTH
This scholarship will cover all (UK/EU or international) tuition fees for the Global Health & Social Justice M.Sc. Scholarship recipients will also receive:
- A stipend for living fees of £17,000.
- Research allowance for their dissertation (up to £1,500)
- Funds to support collaborating local research partners (up to £1,000)
The successful student will be expected to coordinate a Global Health Career Pathway Speaker Series (six to eight over the year), for which a fund of £833 will be available to reimburse speakers for their travel costs.
