COMMONWEALTH SHARED

SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME

2011

DFID

Commonwealth Shared Scholarships, set up by DFID in 1986, represent a unique

partnership between the United Kingdom government and UK Universities. To

date in excess of 2,500* students from developing Commonwealth countries have

been awarded Shared Scholarships. Without these awards they would not

otherwise have been able to benefit from UK higher education.

For 2011 the range of opportunities listed in the following pages is wide and will

provide recipients of the Shared Scholarships with the skills and knowledge to

assist in the development of their home countries. We are delighted that more than

50 UK universities have offered to support our scholarships by contributing the

stipend for the students from their own resources, or those which the university

has been able to generate from elsewhere. Indeed it is the mark of UK

Universities commitment that the scheme receives many more bids each year than

it has the resources to fulfil. This reflects the confidence of the Department for

International Development, which provides the government funding for the

scheme, that higher education and scholarships in particular have a critical role to

play in influencing the development of some of the worlds poorest countries. We

are pleased to see that this approach has been increasingly taken by other

international agencies.

Whilst the scheme is managed by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission, its

success depends critically on the support of participating universities, the

Department for International Development and the students themselves. To all of

these, we extend our grateful thanks and express the hope that the 2011 intake will

be one of the most successful ever.

SHARED SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME ADDITIONAL NOTES

Academic Technology Approval Scheme for International Students (ATAS)In common with other Governments around the world, the British Government is

working hard to stop the spread of knowledge and skills that could be used in the

proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery.

The ATAS is designed to ensure that people who are applying to study certain

sensitive subjects in the UK do not have links to WMD programmes. Since 1

November 2007 non-EU/EEA (including Switzerland) nationals planning to

undertake postgraduate study in the UK in certain science, engineering or

technology disciplines are required to have an ATAS certificate before they can

apply for a Visa or Entry Clearance (EC).

Application is free and can be made online. Applicants should hear about the result

of their application within 20 working days from the date the application is received

by the issuing department.

For further information on the ATAS please go to www.fco.gov.uk/atas

Visas

There has recently been a change to UK Immigration Rules and CommonwealthScholars are now required to apply for a visa to come to the UK under Tier 4 of the

new Immigration System. The UK host university will be the sponsor for your visa.
