ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM Scholarships

The University of Manchester is proud to offer six fully-funded scholarships to women from Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand or Timor-Leste completing specific master's courses in STEM subjects.

Developed by the British Council and funded by the UK International Development from the UK government through the ASEAN-UK Supporting the Advancement of Girls' Education (ASEAN-UK SAGE) programme, the scholarships provide funding for women from eligible countries to complete a one-year master's degree in the UK. 

Since 2020, the British Council has delivered the programme in partnership with selected UK universities and research institutions and has awarded over 300 scholarships.
