University of Edinburgh Masters Scholarship

Aim and Benefits of University of Edinburgh Masters Scholarship

• A number of bursaries will be awarded each year.  Each bursary is worth £1500 and will be awarded to successful applicants in each year of the programme, subject to successful progression.  The maximum award available per student is £4500.
• Students will be required to meet the cost of the balance of the annual tuition fees. Furthermore, the bursary award is credited towards the settlement of the fees and not paid directly to students. If successful, students do not need to apply for the bursary each year as it will automatically roll over on successful progression into the next year of the programme.

Requirements for University of Edinburgh Masters Scholarship Qualification

Applicants must be:

• Applying to the MSc in Surgical Sciences or the MSc in Patient Safety and Clinical Human Factors programmes
• A current member of the Association of Surgeons in Training (ASiT)
• Must be resident in the UK for the duration of the programme
• Working in a supervised clinical environment in the UK and will be for the duration of the programme.

Additionally, applicants should already have been offered a place at the University of Edinburgh and should have firmly accepted that offer or be intending to do so.  Preference will be given to those who have an unconditional offer at time of the scholarship application deadline.

Currently matriculated students are able to apply for the bursary; however, priority will be given to applicants applying for 2026/2027 entry.
