Study level you are applying for: Postgraduate

Who is eligible?

The Forward Bound Scholarship is for applicants from low-income countries, and lower-middle income countries where similar postgraduate education opportunities in health promotion/public health are not available.

To be eligible for the Forward Bound Scholarship, you need to have been offered a place on the Health Promotion MSc course (you must have applied before 30 April 2024) and be living and/or working in a low income or low-middle income country as defined by the World Bank. We cannot offer the scholarship to applicants living/ working in countries where MSc provision is available: (currently The Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria).

Applicants would normally be working in a professional capacity in health promotion or a public health role. In exceptional cases, applicants whose influence is through non-paid roles – for example, through voluntary agencies or through other health related work – may also be considered.

Please note that applicants who have previously had an opportunity to study in the UK (or other higher income country included in the terms and conditions) are not eligible to apply.

Applicants must have an IELTS overall score of 6.5, and a minimum of 5.5 in each section (writing, reading, speaking, listening).
