Australia awards around five Santos Scholarships to the most eminent students to studyin the UCL MSc in Energy and Resources Management. These scholarships are available for students commencing their studies each February.
The scholarship is open to Australian and international students to study full-time on the MSc in Energy and Resources Management programme. The scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic excellence and potential. Financial circumstances are not taken into account.
Applicants who meet the criteria for UCL admission will be ranked in their scholarship application on:
- · Academic performance;
- · Industry experience;
- · A 1000 word essay ;
- · A personal statement;
- · An interview (where candidates will be asked to demonstrate their commitment to the UCL graduate values); and
- · Academic and/or industry references.
Scholarships will be awarded by the Chair, UCL (Australia) Departmental Teaching Committee, on the recommendation of a selection panel made up of the DTC. If there are not sufficiently qualified applications, scholarships may not be awarded and may be re-allocated and awarded during later intakes. The value of each MSc scholarship is the total tuition fees for the two years of the programme (AUD$64,500) paid directly to UCL (Australia).
The scholarship is tenable for two years (full time), subject to continued satisfactory academic progress (achieving a grade average of 60% or better in first year). In addition to the cost of tuition fees, those who are not in full-time employment may be awarded a stipend for living expenses of up to A$25,000 payable in each year of the programme. Where applicable, the scholarship stipend will normally be payable to the recipient in monthly installments over the duration of the programme and is intended for maintenance purposes. The award letter and payment will be administered by UCL. The scholarship may not normally be held alongside other scholarships, studentships, awards or bursaries and recipients of the scholarship may not undertake additional full-time university studies alongside the programme.
Recipients may be required to submit a letter of gratitude to the donor. The letter should include comment on the impact of the scholarship on the recipient’s education and how the award has benefited them. It should also include details of proposed career plans and any career developments. The donor may request the opportunity to meet the recipient of the scholarship. All scholarships and awards are subject to review and to the provisions of UCL’s General Regulations for Scholarships, Awards, Bursaries, Prizes and Medals.
The actual essay topic will be posted on the UCL Australia website. The value of these scholarships is correct as at April 2012 and may be subject to change in future intakes.
