At City University London we believe that exceptional academic and clinical performance should be recognised and rewarded. The School of Health Sciences at City is offering up to 12 Scholarships of £2,500 to UK, EU and International postgraduate students with a profile of academic and clinical excellence starting one of our MSc Advanced Practice in Health and Social Care course at City in the academic year 2013/2014. The award will be granted strictly on merit after a shortlist and selection process. The decisions will be made by a selection panel and will be final. 

The Scholarship amount is a total of £2,500 for both full-time and part-time students and up to 12 scholarships will be awarded in total at the start of the first year of the course. The total amount will be waived off the fee at the start of the academic year for full-time students, and half of the amount will be waived off the fee for part-time students in the first and second years of study.
