The Global Masters Fund 2025 offers up to 20 awards, each worth £1,000 (applied as a tuition fee waiver), to international students pursuing postgraduate taught programmes at the University of Hull starting in September 2025.

The awards are designed to celebrate exceptional students across four categories:

• Creators of Change Award – Faculty of Arts, Culture and Education (5 awards)
• Future Leaders Award – Faculty of Business, Law and Politics (5 awards)
• Science & Sustainability Award – Faculty of Science and Engineering (5 awards)
• Champions of Health Award – Faculty of Health Sciences (5 awards)

Eligibility

The Global Masters Fund 2025 is open to international students from countries which are classed as upper-middle or high income countries by the World Bank. This includes countries across the Americas, Europe, the Gulf, and Central, East and South East Asia.

Please note, Postgraduate applicants can only hold one financial award from the University of Hull. Therefore, applicants already benefiting from one of the University's automatic international studentships [University of Hull Africa Studentship University of Hull University of Hull Asia Studentship University of Hull University of Hull Middle East and North Africa Studentship University of Hull University of Hull Latin America Studentship] are not eligible to apply.

If you have been awarded a scholarship, you will be notified in writing. Students must respond to the initial email within 72 hours of being awarded the scholarship and the student must pay the deposit (£4000) within three weeks of the scholarship announcement. If a response and the deposit have not been received, the award may be given to another applicant.
