IOE-Commonwealth Commission Scholarships

These awards cover air fares, stipend and tuition. We are offering two such awards for 2013/14, for candidates from Commonwealth countries.
The programmes included in this scheme are:
Details of the first four programmes may be found here. The Development Education Masters details are here.
Please do not apply for these programmes from the course pages, if you want to apply for a scholarship. Details of how to apply for a scholarship are below.

Who can apply?
Candidates are normally expected to hold a first degree at either first class or upper second-class level. We will need to be able to confirm that candidates are sufficiently fluent in written and oral English to pursue their proposed studies immediately, as no pre-course English Language Teaching is available under these awards. Candidates who have already studied for one year or more in a developed country or who possess sufficient resources to self-fund are not eligible for an award.
You will be asked to certify in writing that you:
i) are a national of a Commonwealth developing country, and not at present living or studying in a developed country;
ii) have not undertaken studies lasting one year or more in a developed country;
iii) are yourself, or through your family, unable to pay to study in the United Kingdom;
iv) will return to your home country as soon as your award comes to an end. The commission will only consider requests to extend leave to remain in the UK post-award for those wishing to move from masters to PhD study. Strict conditions will apply.

How to apply
If you would like to apply for these awards, please use the dedicated UKPass application pathway here. Please do not use the application buttons on the masters programme pages. If you do this, your scholarship application will not be registered.
If you have not used UKPass before to make a postgraduate application, you will need to open an account. This is free. Clicking on the scholarship application linkwill take you to the relevant page.
Once you have successfully entered UKPass, select course P048222: Commonwealth Shared Scholarship.
Please email internationaloffice@ioe.ac.uk if you have any queries.
The closing date is Friday 15 March 2013.
