Eligibility
The Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015 by the United Nations will determine the course of the global social, ecological and economic agenda until 2030. If we are to successfully achieve them, we need to be able to work across traditional disciplines and we therefore encourage scholarship applications from all eligible programmes of study.
We will only consider applicants who have an offer to study at the University of Southampton.
