This Wellcome scheme enables researchers to undertake humanities or social science Master’s courses in any area of health.
Who can apply
You can apply to one of the Master’s programmes that we fund if you want to develop humanities or social science research skills and train in an area of health.
You can apply before you graduate, but you must have obtained your degree (or equivalent) before taking up the award.
Find out more about eligibility by going to the websites of the programmes we’ve funded.
Who can’t apply
You can’t apply to carry out activities that involve the transfer of grant funds into mainland China.

We usually provide funds at the level charged to UK/EU students, rather than the overseas student rate (with the exception of applicants who are from low- and middle-income countries).
