English language requirements

An IELTS certificate is not required at the time of application. If you are shortlisted for the scholarship, you will be asked to take the IELTS test. English language requirements vary by course, but in most cases you will  need a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 (with no sub-test less than 5.5) or TOEFL 570 (90 IBT) to go through to the final selection round.

We do not accept a Certificate of English Proficiency from a Rwandan university instead of the IELTS test. You can take the IELTS AND TOEFL tests in Kigali. Contact the British Council or TOEFL test centrefor details. 

Application Deadline

The deadline for applications is 7 November 2016 at 5pm (GMT).

You don't need to have an offer of admission to apply for the scholarship. Please don't apply for master’s admission separately; if your scholarship application is successful then an academic offer will be made.
