The ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø’s Global Sustainability Leadership Scholarship (GSLS) scheme is focused on creating a community of global sustainability leaders of the future. We’re offering up to 400 scholarships per year for high-achieving students from the UK and overseas.
Each scholar receives £6,000 a year for up to four years of full-time undergraduate study to support living costs. This is subject to terms and conditions and you must engage in the scholarship development scheme.
The scholarship development scheme is designed to be flexible. We recognise that our scholars will have different backgrounds, experiences and aspirations – and be studying a wide variety of courses.
Most opportunities within the development scheme are optional, enabling you to tailor your experience to align with your own ambitions, goals and schedules.
The University expects all Global Sustainability Leaders scholars to be proactive and fully engaged in the scheme, and to contribute to the University community.
The only mandatory component of the scholarship is the Development and Impact Record, which all scholars must maintain throughout their time at the University.
We'll provide a framework for you to track and reflect on activities you’ve engaged with, and to consider areas for your future development and career. You’ll need to maintain your record each year, providing evidence of your activities and forward planning. The record will be reviewed periodically.
All of the opportunities open to scholars are designed to enhance your knowledge, develop your leadership skills, and empower you to make a meaningful impact in sustainability.
Learning opportunities within the scholarship development scheme are weighted more heavily towards the first half of your time at University. These elements are designed to deepen your understanding of sustainability and equip you with essential skills.
As you progress through your degree, the scheme will provide increasing opportunities to collaborate and engage in hands-on sustainability activities.
By remaining connected after graduation, you’ll also have the opportunity to engage with and inspire future Global Sustainability Leaders scholars.
We are in the process of finalising our postgraduate taught courses for 2027/28 entry. In the meantime, you can view our 2026/27 courses.
