Chancellor’s International Scholarships by University of Hertfordshire

The University of Hertfordshire is an ambitious and entrepreneurial University with an international vision, putting students at the heart of what we do.

A key aspect of the University’s mission is to prepare students for the global economy and to enhance international and multicultural understanding within the University and beyond.

In support of this mission, the University of Hertfordshire will offer 100 achievement-based partial international scholarships, worth £2,000 each, to international students taking up a place in 2010/11. These scholarships, known as the Chancellor’s International Scholarships, are designed to support our international community and to ensure that the University continues to attract the most talented students from across the world.

This scholarship is for new students only; students who are already studying on a degree programme at the University cannot apply for this scholarship.

The Chancellor’s International Scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis to candidates who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and potential and the ability to make a significant ongoing contribution to the university community.
