Description
The United States-United Kingdom Fulbright Commission offers Postgraduate Student Awards as part of the Fulbright US Student programme. University partnership awards support taught master’s degrees and research degrees across disciplines, including science, engineering, business, education, creative writing and performing arts. An Open Award supports independent post-bachelor’s research or eligible arts-related graduate study at recognised UK institutions.
The programme promotes mutual understanding through academic exchange, openness, academic integrity and intellectual freedom. Alongside academic funding, awards generally include cultural enrichment programmes and events, membership of national arts and culture organisations, and access to a global alumni network. Applicants are expected to explain why their chosen UK institution fits their academic, personal and professional goals.
