Business and Law International Scholarships of De Montfort University

The Faculty of Business and Law is pleased to announce 10 Scholarships for overseas students wishing to start courses in September 2008.

The Faculty of Business and Law is committed to supporting international students to benefit from study in the UK. These £1000 scholarships are equivalent to a reduction of around 10% on the full tuition fees, and will be paid towards the full tuition fees of overseas-status students from any country in the world who wish to study any of the following types of courses within the Faculty of Business and Law, at De Montfort University, Leicester:

• Full-time undergraduate degrees (BA/BSc) in any subject
• Full-time Postgraduate Diplomas and Masters courses (PGDip/MA/MSc/MBA/LLM) in any subject
• Full-time MPhil/PhD research degrees in any subject

The scholarships are available for courses starting in September 2008 only (or between September 2008 and June 2009 for MPhil/PhD research degrees). The £1000 scholarship will be made as a one-off payment and will be deducted from the full tuition fee at the beginning of the first (or only) year of study.

Only overseas status students are eligible to apply.

We will award up to 10 x £1000 scholarships for the above courses starting in September 2008. There will be a limited number of scholarships awarded by Faculty

Please note that a few of our courses are not included in this scholarship scheme. To confirm whether your choice of course is included in the scheme, please visit the website at http://www.dmu.ac.uk/study/international/fees/excludedcourses.jsp
