The GREAT Scholarships offer students from India the opportunity to undertake postgraduate taught studies in the UK from autumn 2024, across various fields of study.

This year 25 UK universities are offering 26 postgraduate GREAT scholarships to Indian students as part of the programme, across a variety of subjects like Finance, Marketing, Business, Psychology Design, Humanities, Dance and more. Each GREAT scholarship is worth a minimum of £10,000 that will be paid towards tuition fees for a one-year postgraduate course in the UK for the 2024-25 academic year.

The GREAT Scholarships programme 2024 also offers two scholarships for Justice and Law studies to Indian students, in partnership with the Ministry for Justice. These scholarships are offered at two participating higher education institutions, delivering outstanding programmes in the legal field. Indian students interested in pursuing various courses such as human rights, property law, criminal justice, commercial law and more can apply for these scholarships.

Additionally, for the 2024-25 academic year, there are four Science and Technology scholarships available across four UK Universities.
