The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) is offering five scholarships for applicants accepted for admission to the online Master's in Healthcare Leadership programme at Lancaster University in the Academic Year 2025-2026.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office scholarships for Lancaster University courses are intended for professionals employed in the healthcare sector of low and middle-income Commonwealth countries in the continent of Africa. We will therefore not consider applications from outside this region.
