2024 University of Nottingham Postgraduate Excellence Award for African Students – UK

The Africa Postgraduate Excellence Award is the University of Nottingham’s scholarship award, designed to support international students who have achieved academic excellence and show true passion for their chosen field of study. We’re offering scholarships covering a contribution of between £4,000 to £8,000 towards full-time master’s tuition fees for high-achieving international students who live in Africa.

2012, The Times described Nottingham as “Britain’s first truly global university”. Since then, we have consolidated this position and moved from being a university with the boldest of visions to establish overseas campuses, first in Malaysia and then China, to one which has built on this vision and developed it into a core part of its being.

The University of Nottingham is a pioneering institution and amongst the top 20 universities in the UK and ranks 8th in the UK for research power. It was established in 1881 and it is known for its commitment to academic excellence, research innovation and global impact. It has campuses in Nottingham, Malaysia and China.
