[Master Degree] Wellcome International Master’s Scholarships 2020, UK (Fully Funded)

Wellcome is a politically and financially independent foundation.

Our founder, Sir Henry Wellcome, was a medical entrepreneur, collector and philanthropist. How we work today reflects the breadth of his interests, and his conviction that health can be improved when research generates, tests and investigates new ideas. Our governance is based on an updated version of Henry’s will.

Today, we have a £26.8 billion investment portfolio which funds all the work we do. In the next five years, we plan to spend around £5 billion helping people across the world explore great ideas.

This scheme offers nationals of low- and middle-income countries the opportunity to receive training at Master’s degree level.
