Abertay scholarships up for grabs
ABERTAY University in Dundee, Scotland is providing five scholarships for international applicants from selected countries for postgraduate programmes.
Students currently resident or studying in Malaysia have been selected as one of the groups to benefit from the scholarships.
Abertay University has a long association with Malaysia.
In addition to running programmes in partnership with SEG International Bhd (SEGi) for many years Abertay brought the Dare to be Digital computer games development competition to Malaysia last year in partnership with the British Council.
Abertay also established an information centre here last year through WisDen EduPark Sdn Bhd, a company established by Gracious Fernandez and Sharon Kaur, both of them are Abertay MBA graduates.
''We have opened the Anniversary Scholarships to potential students from countries that have been instrumental in Abertay’s growth” says Abertay business development director Paul Durrant.
There is a wide range of postgraduate programmes on offer at Abertay including the Abertay MBA, a flexible programme with pathways in Corporate Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Entrepreneurship or International Management.
Two new MBA pathways are being included for next year, Biotechnology and Electrical Power Engineering. There are also opportunities to progress to the MBA through a Post Graduate Diploma in Business Administra-tion.
The sciences include MSc courses in Computer Games Technology where Abertay was one of the first universities in the world to provide taught programmes in this area.
There are also a number of courses in the contemporary and environmental sciences including Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Environmental Management and Water Pollution Control. These reflect Abertay’s high (RAE 4) rating in research in these areas.
One of the scholarship criteria is interesting as Abertay has included a requirement for applicants to demonstrate how they would continue their association with Abertay after graduation.
Undergraduate applicants also have an opportunity to apply for bursaries worth £1,000 (RM6,930) from Abertay through WisDen. For more information, call 03-5637 0503, 016-699 0588 (Sharon), 016-6096 902 (Gracious) or e-mail: gray98@tm.net.my
