Study In UK: Strathclyde Offers £5,000 Dean’s Excellence Scholarships For International Students In Humanities & Social Sciences

Study In UK: 25 Dean's Excellence Scholarships for the 2025 September intake have been declared by the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow for overseas students who want to study an undergraduate degree in the UK. Each scholarship, worth £5,000 per academic year, is meant to assist promising students who are undertaking full-time undergraduate courses with their fees.

These scholarships will be awarded entirely on merit, rather than on the basis of need. Indications of academic potential, such as previous or existing academic achievement, recommendation letters (in the case of non-standard qualifications), and participation in extracurricular or personal development, will be considered by the institution when assessing candidates' UCAS applications.
