The campaign provides aspiring students from the country an opportunity to pursue postgraduate studies in the UK starting from autumn 2024.
Under this programme, 25 UK universities are extending 26 postgraduate GREAT scholarships to Indian students, encompassing a diverse array of fields such as Finance, Marketing, Business, Psychology Design, Humanities, Dance, and more.
Each scholarship, valued at a minimum of £10,000, is designated to cover tuition fees for a one-year postgraduate course in the UK for the academic year 2024-25.
Expanding the horizons of educational prospects for the youth of the region, the GREAT Scholarships 2024 includes two scholarships specifically tailored for Justice and Law studies, in collaboration with the Ministry for Justice.
These scholarships, offered at select higher education institutions known for their excellence in legal education, provide avenues for Indian students to delve into various legal domains including human rights, property law, criminal justice, and commercial law.
Additionally, the programme encompasses four Science and Technology scholarships across four distinguished UK universities.
Indian students are encouraged to explore courses ranging from Artificial Intelligence to Sustainable Engineering and Psychology, among others, offered by these esteemed institutions.
The overarching objective of the GREAT Scholarships initiative is to democratise access to UK education in India.
