£1000

Eligibility

To recognise the academic excellence of our applicants, Heriot-Watt is offering a scholarship in the form of a £1,000 tuition fee reduction to the student/s deemed to have met the highest academic criteria in their application for MSc Advanced Mechanical Engineering. The academic criteria could be in respect of an undergraduate degree for instance or could take into account any professional exams undertaken. As the number of awards is limited, where two applicants are tied, extra-curricular activity may be taken into account.

Application Procedure

To be considered for this award, you must have applied for the course by Monday 17 June 2024 and we aim to contact the recipient by Monday 1 July 2024. You do not need to apply for the scholarship separately, all applications from UK based students will be considered. Consideration for the scholarship will be done separately to the offer of a space within the university, if you are offered a space before the above deadline, we will contact you to amend your offer should you be successful in gaining the scholarship.

Please be aware you can only receive one Heriot-Watt funded scholarship towards your programme of study. So, for example, you cannot receive both this scholarship and the Alumni Discount.
