SOAS International Master’s Scholarships 2026 – All Disciplines, £8,000 Fee Waiver SOAS University of London in United Kingdom

SOAS University of London is offering over 150 International Master’s Scholarships for the 2026/2027 academic year, each valued at £8,000 as a tuition fee waiver. These scholarships are designed to support outstanding international students enrolling in full-time, on-campus taught master's programmes across a wide range of disciplines, including business, economics, international relations, political science, anthropology, history, sociology, law, linguistics, and education. The awards are distributed in three rounds, with deadlines on 28 February, 30 April, and 30 June 2026. Early application is encouraged as awards are made across multiple rounds.

To be eligible, applicants must hold an offer for a full-time master's programme at SOAS, be classified as overseas fee-paying students, and have achieved at least a UK upper second-class (2:1) undergraduate degree or its international equivalent. Applicants must not be in receipt of any other SOAS or full-fee scholarship/sponsorship, and joint partnership programmes are not eligible. For two-year programmes, the scholarship applies only to the first year of tuition fees. Successful applicants will be required to pay a £4,000 CAS deposit to accept the award, which is refundable only in limited circumstances.

The application process involves submitting an online scholarship application form after securing an offer from SOAS. Applicants should not submit more than one application, and those not selected in earlier rounds will be automatically considered for subsequent rounds. Notification of results will be sent within 10 working days after each deadline. The scholarship cannot be combined with other SOAS scholarships or discounts; recipients must choose the highest value award if successful in multiple applications.

This opportunity is ideal for international students seeking financial support to pursue advanced studies in a globally recognized institution with a strong focus on social sciences, humanities, and world affairs. For more details and to apply, visit the official SOAS scholarship page.
