How selection works

  • An awarding panel of Admissions, International Office and International Student Support Officer representatives assesses the application responses.
  • The panel looks for candidates who will benefit most rather than the highest achievers.
  • Answers should cover academic background, extracurricular or voluntary experience, motivation and barriers overcome, career plans, and the global perspective you would bring.
  • Scholars are expected to act as ambassadors for Edge Hill and UK higher education.
