Mahatma Gandhi Scholarship

The Mahatma Gandhi Scholarship Program at London Metropolitan University has been set up to honour the major political and spiritual leader of India, who is officially honoured in India as the Father of the Nation. The scholarship program supports one Indian student and covers the tuition fees for a Masters programme at London Metropolitan University. Additionally, the university will support two Indian students with a 50% reduction in tuition fees.

First class Bachelors degree from a good Indian University, or a Masters degree from a good Indian University
IELTS band of overall 7.5
