University of Aberdeen announces £8,000 Global Scholarship for international postgrads
The University of Aberdeen has announced the continuation of its Aberdeen Global Scholarship, offering an £8,000 tuition fee reduction to self‑funded international students beginning postgraduate study in the 2026/27 academic year.
The award aims to make world‑class education more accessible to students from around the globe while strengthening the university’s long‑standing commitment to international diversity.
The scholarship is available to eligible students enrolling on full‑time, on‑campus masters or research degrees starting in September 2026 or January 2027. It can be applied across a wide range of subject areas, including language, literature, music, visual culture, art history, and many of the university’s other humanities, social science and interdisciplinary programmes.
Founded in 1495, the University of Aberdeen is one of Scotland and the UK’s oldest and most respected institutions, renowned for excellence in teaching, research and student experience. The Aberdeen Global Scholarship adds a significant financial incentive for students considering postgraduate study in the region, offering meaningful support as they advance their academic and professional goals.
Beyond financial assistance, the university highlights several reasons why Aberdeen is an ideal destination for international learners. The historic King’s College campus blends centuries‑old architecture with modern facilities and sits within easy reach of the city centre and the beautiful Aberdeen coastline. The city itself is frequently recognised as one of the UK’s most affordable student locations and provides a welcoming, safe environment with access to cultural attractions, green spaces, and the dramatic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands.
Prospective students can find full eligibility criteria and application guidance on the university’s website. Those seeking further advice are encouraged to contact the admissions team at study@abdn.ac.uk.
The University of Aberdeen looks forward to welcoming the next generation of international scholars to its campus in 2026.
