Scholarships of up to £10,000 will be awarded to outstanding candidates who meet the requirements of the listed scholarships.

There is nothing additional for candidates to do. All applicants to who apply to study MSc Finance with Data Science at UCL in the 2025/26 academic year who meet the scholarship criteria will be considered for scholarship funding.

Candidates should provide an excellent application to the MSc Finance with Data Science programme, demonstrating academic merit, strong professional or community experience, leadership potential and a clear career plan.

Scholarships will be awarded at the discretion of the programme director who reviews all applications. The decision of the programme director is final, and no feedback will be given as to why a scholarship was not given to a candidate.

Successful candidates will be notified of their scholarship award by the Admissions Team.

Scholarship funds will be applied as a tuition fee discount, reducing the tuition fees that students will pay to UCL.

Yes, you can combine this with other funding from other sources. However, if you already have a scholarship that covers your full tuition, you will not be eligible for these scholarships.

Typically, UCL would classify ‘low-income’ as a household with an annual income of £25,000 or less and ‘lower-income’ as £42,875 or less (or overseas equivalent), but this is a guide only as other factors are taken into account during the selection process.
