World Wide Studies is an educational initiative of the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, aimed at fostering a new generation of Ukrainian professional elite.
The scholarship programme encourages Ukrainian students to study Master’s degrees in the world’s best universities, in the following subject areas: Agricultural Studies, Environment and Ecology, Law, and Public Administration.
The scholarships will primarily cover tuition fees, books and medical insurance. The maximum grant awarded will be based on the needs and merits of each individual student. The majority of the grants will cover up to 60% of the total costs.
Prospective students are advised to apply directly to the University of Birmingham, and complete the formal application and admissions procedures. Prospective applicants should then apply to the Victor Pinchuk Foundation.
The Victor Pinchuk Foundation will expect all grant winners to return to Ukraine and work in their chosen field of study for at least 5 years.
