Chancellor’s International Scholarship

The Chancellor’s International Scholarship is the premier merit-based incentive at the University of Hertfordshire, specifically crafted to attract and reward academic excellence within the global student body. This award is intended for Pakistani students who have demonstrated a high level of achievement in their previous undergraduate studies and possess a clear vision for their future careers.

Unlike automatic early-bird discounts, this scholarship is a selective recognition of a student’s potential to contribute to the University of Hertfordshire academic community. The award amount is determined by a holistic review of the applicant’s profile, including their CGPA, English language proficiency, and the quality of their personal statement. By reducing the tuition fee burden by up to £4,000, the university aims to make world-class British education more accessible to the brightest minds from Pakistan, helping them transition into high-impact roles in fields like Business, Technology, and the Social Sciences.

Direct Tuition Reduction: A significant waiver applied directly to the first-year tuition fees after registration.

Academic Recognition: Being named a Chancellor's Scholar provides a distinguished addition to a student's CV.

Financial Flexibility: If fees are already paid in full, the scholarship amount may potentially be used toward university accommodation costs.

Combined Savings: This scholarship can be combined with the £500 Full Payment Discount for even greater financial relief.

To be eligible, a candidate must:

• assessed as an Overseas fee payer (International student from Pakistan).
• self-funded student (not receiving full government or third-party sponsorship).
• new, first-time entrant to the University of Hertfordshire for the September 2026 intake.
• Hold an offer for a full-time award-bearing postgraduate taught program (MA/MSc).
• Meet the minimum academic entry requirements (typically a 4-year Bachelor’s degree from Pakistan with a minimum GPA of 2.5/4.0 or 55%+).

Level: Postgraduate Taught (Master's level MA, MSc, MBA, LLM).

Fields of Study: Available across most academic disciplines.

Exclusions: This scholarship is not available for:

• MSc Nursing (all routes), MSc Social Work, and specific health/paramedic science courses.
• Research degrees (PhD, MPhil).
• Distance learning or part-time courses.

The University of Hertfordshire (UOH) is a modern, business-facing institution located in Hatfield, UK, just a short train ride from London.
