The University of Worcester has announced merit-based scholarships of up to £3,000 (₹3.58 lakh approx) per year for Indian students enrolling in postgraduate programs from January 2026. The initiative comes in response to growing demand from India for UK degrees that combine academic excellence with practical, career-oriented learning.
Applications from Indian students for the January intake have been rising steadily, reflecting Worcester’s mission to make globally relevant education more accessible.
According to the Graduate Outcomes Survey 2024, 96% of Worcester graduates are employed or in further study within 15 months of graduation. The university provides hands-on exposure by employing over 500 students annually and collaborating with more than 1,000 organisations worldwide.
Nick Slade, Deputy Pro Vice Chancellor (International & External Affairs), said:
“I’m excited by the growing interest from Indian students to study at the University of Worcester. We are 1st in the UK for employment and/or further study 5 years after graduation. Our merit-based scholarships and career-focused degrees are designed to give students the skills, experience, and confidence they need to succeed in both global and Indian job markets.”
Students enrolling in January 2026 can choose from a diverse portfolio of postgraduate programs, including:
MBA
MSc Human Resource Management
MSc International Management
MSc Marketing
MSc Project Management
MSc Logistics & Supply Chain Management
MSc Global Sustainable Management
In addition, students have the option of undertaking 6- or 12-month professional placements, giving them real-world experience to enhance their employability in India, the UK, and beyond.
Dr Scott Andrews, Head of Worcester Business School, highlighted the impact of placements:
“Our international students gain practical, hands-on experience that truly benefits their careers. Working with students from different countries also opens their eyes to new perspectives. Six years of longitudinal research shows that work-based placements consistently improve the performance of our management students.”
With globally recognised credentials, scholarships, and career-focused degrees, Worcester is positioning itself as an attractive destination for Indian students aspiring to gain international exposure while building a strong foundation for professional success.
