The University of Manchester is offering Masters Scholarships for Ethiopian, Ugandan, Rwandan and Tanzanian students for entry in September 2019. The scholarships cover full tuition fees, return international air fares and living expenses.

These Master’s scholarships are aimed at talented applicants, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The University of Manchester reputation is just one reason why Manchester is the best place for you to study for your master’s. The university offers students far more than just a qualification. Their pioneering taught courses draw upon their world-leading research and their strong links to global industry. They will quickly develop skills and gain exposure to experiences that will set you apart in the jobs market.

An IELTS certificate is not required at the time of application. If you are shortlisted for the scholarship, you will be asked to take the IELTS test. English language requirements vary by course, but in most cases you will  need a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 (with no sub-test less than 5.5) or TOEFL 570 (90 IBT) to go through to the final selection round. They do not accept a Certificate of English Proficiency from a Rwandan university instead of the IELTS test.
