Decisions for 2011 will be made by a selection panel on the basis of academic excellence (see 3 above) and where applicable, relevant work experience. The panel will consist of academic representatives from IBERS, IGES and the Department of International Politics and will be chaired by the Dean of Postgraduate Studies. The results will be made available during the first week of July 2011.

Scholarships are available for entirely self-financed students (i.e. they cannot be held by students with full-awards, e.g. Chevening Scholarships, Commonwealth Shared Scholarship or any governmental award or any partial awards, including AU departmental awards and the Aber-grad Discount).

Scholarships cannot be deferred to future intakes.
