The UK Government has launched a scholarship for women in Myanmar and across ASEAN to study a Masters in a Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics in certain leading UK universities.
The UK, through the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls’ Education Programme (ASEAN-UK SAGE), seeks to address gender disparities in STEM by providing more access to STEM education for women and girls in ASEAN and Timor-Leste.
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics or STEM is an umbrella term used to group together the distinct but related technical disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Who can apply? Women, Myanmar citizens, those who hold an undergraduate degree in a STEM subject, those who have the required English language level of a UK university, and those who have work experience or a proven interest in their subject area.
The programme provides full tuition fees, a living stipend for 12 months, visa and health coverage fees, refund of an IELTS English language test, if needed, and travel costs.
How to apply?
Applications should be made directly to the participating universities. You can make more than one application, but you will need to apply through each institution separately.
Please check the application requirements and eligible programs on each university website where you may also start your application.
