Every student aspires to earn a Master’s degree in their chosen field from a top-tier university after graduating in any topic from a reputable institution. Universities with cutting-edge educational systems, resources for research, and even the chance to apply what they learn in the workplace are the stuff of fantasies for many students due to the deplorable socioeconomic conditions in many nations. But the good news is that the University of Nottingham in the UK is providing an opportunity for creative and motivated students to earn a master’s degree on a 50% or 100% scholarship while keeping these factors in mind. 

Let’s learn about the university 

One of the top public universities in the United Kingdom is Nottingham University. Since 1948, the institution, which was founded in 1881, has been awarding degrees to students in a variety of fields of study. From the invention of MRI technology to the ongoing struggle against modern slavery, world hunger, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the institution has a history of conducting ground-breaking research. Numerous undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. options are available, ranging from the arts and humanities, languages, engineering, physics, and medicine to the social sciences, covering business, economics, politics, and law.

University Ranking 

According to the QS World University Rankings 2022, the university came in at number 103 overall and number 18 in the UK. At the same time, it was named the Sports University of the Year and placed in the top 20 universities in the UK by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022.

This renowned university has currently organized the “Developing Solutions Masters Scholarship” program to assist students from different countries in obtaining Masters’s degrees. 

Developing Solutions Masters Scholarship  

In 2001, the university created its flagship master’s scholarship program, Developing Solutions, to support students from African, South Asian, and other selected Commonwealth countries in obtaining their master’s degree. This scholarship program is designed for international students who have the potential to make a significant positive difference in the development of key economic, environmental, structural, social, or political structures in their countries.

That is, students who will be successful in providing a solution to a serious problem in their country with ingenuity will be eligible to study in this scholarship program. Needless to say, solutions must be provided that can bring about positive changes in the development of the economic, environmental, structural, social, or political structures of the country.

This scholarship program will cover 50% or 100% of full-time master’s tuition fees to support innovative and enthusiastic students.
