The University offers a limited
number of scholarships for postgraduate studies through
the Centre for Research and Postgraduate studies each year.
The scholarships are for one year and they may be renewed
depending upon good performances. They are only provided
to students with outstanding academic records and have good
reference. Particular considerations will be given to those
students who have no form of support, sponsorship, or continual
sources of income from employment. The scholarships are
normally advertised in November each year. Students wishing
to apply for the scholarship should contact the Centre for
Research and Postgraduate for the application forms and
information.
Apart from paying students’ tuition fees and accommodation,
the scholarship also provides students with some stipends
and a small grant for research, which are administered by
the University’s Bursary. However, students sponsored
under this scholarship are not provided with meals. |
