The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, is offering a £6,000 scholarship to new international students who join an eligible full-time Master’s degree in its Faculty of Science in January 2027. The award is applied as a reduction in tuition fees, and there is no separate scholarship form. If you are a self-funded student from Pakistan or another non-EU country, this is worth a close look, because the deadline is 30 November 2026.

Who Can Get This Scholarship?
According to the university’s official page, you must:
- Be a new international (non-EU) fee-paying student
- Enrol on an on-campus, full-time taught Master’s degree in the Faculty of Science in January 2027
- Be self-funded
Students who receive full sponsorship, for example from a government office or an embassy, are not eligible. The page does not list specific countries, so students from Pakistan can qualify as long as they are classed as international (non-EU) fee-paying students.
Which Courses Are Eligible?
The scholarship applies to eligible Master’s degrees in the Faculty of Science. The official scholarship page lists “Computer science” under subject eligibility. Strathclyde’s Faculty of Science includes departments such as Computer and Information Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics, Pure and Applied Chemistry, and the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences. However, not every course in these departments necessarily starts in January or qualifies for this award. Before you apply, confirm that your chosen course has a January 2027 start and is covered by the scholarship. You can ask the scholarship team at science-scholarships
How the Scholarship Is Awarded
Strathclyde states that eligible students receive the scholarship automatically once their deposit payment is received, up to 30 November. In practice, the steps look like this:
- Choose an eligible on-campus Master’s course with a January 2027 start.
- Apply for admission and receive your offer.
- Accept the offer and pay the required deposit before the deadline.
- Make sure you meet all the eligibility conditions.
- Your £6,000 is deducted from your tuition fees.
The deposit amount is not stated on the scholarship page, so check your offer letter. Because offers and deposits take time, it is sensible to finish these steps well before 30 November.
Important Terms and Conditions
- The scholarship cannot be deferred or moved to another intake.
- It cannot be used to pay your deposit.
- Online degrees, postgraduate certificates and postgraduate diplomas are not eligible.
- You can receive only one Strathclyde scholarship per academic year.
- The Faculty of Science’s decision is final, and appeals are not considered.
- You must register on an eligible on-campus Master’s course and keep meeting the criteria.
What the Scholarship Does Not Cover
This is a partial tuition-fee reduction, not a fully funded award. Accommodation, food, travel, visa costs and other living expenses are your responsibility. Plan your full budget before accepting an offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to submit a separate scholarship application?
No. Eligible students are awarded the scholarship automatically.
Is the scholarship open to students from Pakistan?

Fully sponsored students are not eligible. The scholarship is for self-funded students.
