International fee-paying students, except those domiciled in India or Thailand Fee status You must be classified as an international student for tuition fee purposes. Home (UK) fee-status students are not eligible for this particular award. Academic standard You need a qualification equivalent to a UK First Class honours degree. Leicester assesses your prior degree against its own equivalency standards for your country, so a strong undergraduate record is the core requirement.

• A £5,000 reduction applied against your standard tuition fee.
• One year of study only, so it suits a standard one-year taught master's.
• Automatic assessment, with no separate application or essay required.
• Confirmation delivered alongside your course offer once your final results are in.
• The award does not extend to industrial placement periods, resit years, or periods when your studies are suspended. You can hold only one University of Leicester scholarship at a time. If you qualify for more than one, the university applies the highest-value award rather than stacking them.
