Sheffield Hallam University, a university in the UK, has allied with the British Council to introduce scholarships totalling £20,000. These scholarships, part of the GREAT campaign, are being offered to encourage outstanding students from India to pursue postgraduate studies in Great Britain.
In all, four scholarships worth £5,000 will be given to students of Indian origin applying for Master's programmes beginning in September 2016.
Each GREAT scholar would be selected to pursue postgraduate study in one of the four subject areas that the university is offering for award of scholarships. The disciplines are bio sciences; business and management; construction, building and surveying; and engineering.
Anna Toyne, South Asia Regional Manager, Sheffield Hallam University, said the university works closely with employers as well as professional firms to see to it that their courses would develop skills needed by business and industrial sectors. The courses, scheduled to begin in September 2016, will provide students with opportunities to specialise in advanced courses, such as MSc Wealth Management and MSc Automation, Control and Robotics, she added.
