British Universities Scholarship Scheme for Higher Education Institutions in Aceh, Indonesia 2005-2009

University of Birmingham is delighted to be a part of this consortium of twelve universities in Great Britain (Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, Southampton and York). This consortium of UK Universities has established the British Universities’ Scholarship Scheme for Higher Education Institutions in Aceh, Indonesia. Each participating institution is offering one full Masters scholarship per year for the next four academic years (2005/06 to 2008/09).

The scholarship has two components : fee waiver and a living cost allowance. The scholarships are offered to Institut Agama Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry (IAIN), Banda Aceh, and to Universitas Syiah Kuala (UNSYIAH), Banda Aceh, with the specific objective of helping these two higher education institutions to strengthen the competence of their academic staff following the tsunami of 26th December 2005.

IAIN and UNSYIAH are invited to nominate candidates for the scholarships. University of Birmingham will then select candidates on the basis of their normal admission criteria. The British Council in Indonesia is generously supporting the Scheme by providing free English language tuition for candidates to bring them up to the IELTS standards required by the UK institutions. Furthermore, the British Embassy in Indonesia has confirmed that the visa fee for scholars from IAIN and UNSYIAH travelling to the UK through this Scheme will be waived.

The coordinating institution in the UK for this scheme is the University of Leeds. For further information about this scheme and on application process, please refer to contact details below.
Procedures
1) Initial applications are made by individuals in the two Aceh institutions. Each application is approved and endorsed by the Rector of the applicant’s own institution or the Dean of his or her own Faculty.
2) Applications are forwarded to University of Leeds by the applicant’s institution, preferably by email attachment or by fax. Preliminary allocations are made and the initial application forms are passed to University of Birmingham.
