Chancellor’s International Undergraduate & Postgraduate Scholarships, University of Hertfordshire, UK
Chancellor’s International Scholarships The University of Hertfordshire is an ambitious and entrepreneurial University with an international vision, putting students at the heart of what we do. A key aspect of the University’s mission is to prepare students for the global economy and to enhance international and multicultural understanding within the University and beyond.
In support of this mission, the University of Hertfordshire will offer 100 achievement-based partial international scholarships, worth £2,000 each, to international students taking up a place in 2011/12. These scholarships, known as the Chancellor’s International Scholarships, are designed to support our international community and to ensure that the University continues to attract the most talented students from across the world.
All new full-time overseas fee paying international students with an offer of a place on an undergraduate or postgraduate programme for 2011/12 entry will be eligible to apply for the scholarships, which will be payable in the form of a £2,000 reduction against the first year’s tuition fees. This scholarship is for new students only; students who are already studying on a degree programme at the University cannot apply for this scholarship.
The Chancellor’s International Scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis to candidates who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement and potential and the ability to make a significant ongoing contribution to the university community.
Candidates will be assessed on the basis of the following.
1. Overseas fees status
Candidates must be eligible to pay the University’s full -time overseas tuition fee.
2. Conditional or unconditional offer-holder
Candidates must have applied to the University and have been issued with a conditional or unconditional offer of a place on a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate degree programme for entry in September 2011, prior to applying for a Chancellor’s International Scholarship.
3. Academic achievement
Postgraduate
Successful candidates will be required to achieve the equivalent of a UK First Class or strong Second Class bachelor degree. As a general guide, this would equate to:
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) marking systems: a score of 3.0 or above (where the maximum score is 4.0), or of 4.0 or above (where the maximum score is 5.0)
Percentage marking systems: the marking scale used in percentage-based grading systems varies widely between countries, subjects and institutions. As a result, when deciding whether a candidate’s grades represent outstanding academic performance, the University’s experience and knowledge of the country’s educational system, of the student’s subject area and of the marking systems used by individual institutions will be taken into consideration.
Where appropriate, the overall ranking of the candidate within their cohort will also be taken into account.
Undergraduate
Successful candidates will be required to achieve the equivalent of 360 UCAS points or above at UK A Level.
The marking scales used to assess performance in school-level qualifications vary significantly between type of qualification, country and individual subject areas. As a result, when deciding whether a candidate’s grades represent outstanding academic performance, the University’s experience and knowledge of the relevant educational system, qualification and marking scheme will be taken into consideration.

- Other achievements or involvement in extra-curricular activities

- The potential to benefit from the experience of studying at the University of Hertfordshire (UH), and to make a significant ongoing contribution to the UH community.
