MSc Merit Based Scholarships for non-UCD Students / Graduates

UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School is pleased to offer a number of scholarships which will be awarded to academically exceptional students who also have demonstrated leadership and impact achievements.

Successful scholars of these Merit Based awards will be ambassadors for their course and the School during their studies and after graduation.

The total value of each of these Scholarships is a €2,000 contribution towards fees for the Masters programme that the candidate has applied for and has accepted an offer from The School.

To be considered, students must be a graduate of an Irish Higher Educational Institution or will graduate in the summer of 2023. A candidate must hold a mid Hons 2.1 (65%) or above degree result or be in a position to achieve 65% or higher in their Bachelor Level 8 Honours degree and have completed their degree in full in the summer of 2024.

These Scholarships are for our full-time Taught Masters MSc Programmes only. It also includes our Master of Accounting.

The Scholarship is not open to those who have already commenced or have previously undertaken a Masters programme.

These Taught Masters Scholarships will be judged and then awarded to the applicants on the basis of their overall degree result (holding a mid Hons 2.1 or above) along with the quality of the two short essay questions the candidate has completed as part of their Scholarship Application Form.

If you are a non-Irish citizen but completed your education at an Irish Higher Educational Institution we welcome your application. However please contact us before you make your application on the details at the bottom of this page.

Please note that UCD Belfield programmes run in conjunction with UCD Smurfit School - MSc in Biotechnology and Business, MSc in Biotherapeutics and Business and MSc in International Law and Business - are not eligible for Scholarships.
