The Vietnam Flagship Postgraduate Scholarship recognises outstanding postgraduate applicants from Vietnam who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, leadership capability, initiative, and strong problem-solving skills.

The award is designed to attract and support outstanding students of high academic calibre to undertake postgraduate study at the University of Surrey and make a positive impact in their profession and wider society.

In order to be eligible, applicants must:

• Be an overseas fee-paying student starting in February 2027
• Hold an offer to study a full-time masters programme* at Surrey
• Be self-funded (you must be paying for your studies independently rather than being sponsored or in receipt of another scholarship)
• Be a Vietnamese passport holder residing in Vietnam
• Achieved or expected to achieve the equivalent of a UK First Class Honours degree (GPA 8.0/10 in Vietnam)
• Not be from the Surrey International Study Centre (SISC).

*Excludes part-time, distance-learning courses, MSc Applied Analytical Chemistry, MSc Pharmaceutical Sciences, MSc Biotechnology, MSc Human Nutrition, MSc Food Science, and the MBA course.

The award is not deferrable (if applicants are deferring, they will need to reapply for the award. This will also be subject to the award availability).

Applicants in receipt of the Vietnam Flagship Postgraduate Scholarship will not be eligible for any other Surrey scholarship. This scholarship cannot be combined with the alumni or early payment discounts.

For two-year postgraduate courses, the scholarship award is valid for the first year only.
