They are available for all courses (except teacher training/PGCE courses) and will pay 50% of the fees (up to £3,000 for the 2012/13 academic year) for a one-year, full-time or two-years, part-time masters programme.

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is offering an award of £1,000 in memory of the former head of the School of Economics, Sami Daniel.

• All full-time applicants who hold an offer for a place on one of the one-year taught masters in Economics can apply for the scholarship.
• The scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit with the possibility of splitting it in equal parts if the two best applicants are equally deserving.
• If none of the applications are considered to be sufficiently strong, the scholarship will not be awarded.

The deadline for applications for the Sami Daniel scholarship is 31 July in the year of intended entry to the course. Download an application form here.

The International Office is offers awards totalling £250,000 every year, with each scholarship worth £3,300. These are open to prospective full-time postgraduates in any subject area on a one-year taught masters degree.

• have an offer of a place on a course at Kingston for 2012/13 entry; and
• are not currently registered on a postgraduate course at Kingston University.

You might also be eligible for an international loyalty bursary if you are an overseas Kingston University alumnus or have a family connection with the University.
