Eligibility

Scholarships covering full tuition fees and stipend are available to UK and Republic of Ireland students.

EU and other international students are also very welcome to apply. Such students will be required to fund their own fees at the Queen's University Belfast international fee rate (£18.9k or £23.85k per annum), but LINAS can provide both the maintenance award (approximately £18.9k per year) and a contribution to the fee of £4.9k per year.
