Are there any neuroscience or neuropsychology related master's programs available that offer scholarships or financial support in UK/Australia?
In the UK, King's College London offers Dean's Scholarships around 5,000 pounds, Sheffield offers up to 10,000 pounds through its Beaumont Scholarship, and Oxford funds research masters through the Medical Research Council. In Australia, research focused neuroscience masters can access government RTP stipends, while clinical neuropsychology relies on merit scholarships.
Yes, you have genuine funding options for a neuroscience or neuropsychology masters in both the UK and Australia, though the type of support depends on whether your program is research focused or a professional clinical track. It helps to separate these two paths early, since funding structures differ significantly between them.
Scholarship Options by University
| University | Scholarship |
|---|---|
| King's College London (IoPPN) | School of Neuroscience Scholarships and Dean's Scholarships worth around 5,000 pounds |
| University College London | Institute-specific awards including International Excellence Scholarships |
| University of Sheffield | Beaumont Neuroscience Postgraduate Scholarships worth up to 10,000 pounds |
| University of Oxford | Fully funded research masters through Medical Research Council or Clarendon funds |
Funding in Australia
If you choose a research focused Master of Philosophy or Master of Science in neuroscience, you can access Research Training Program stipends from the Australian Government, which cover tuition and provide a living allowance, mainly for domestic students with occasional access for high-achieving international applicants. Clinical Neuropsychology programs, being professional training tracks, rely more on general international or merit scholarships offered university-wide rather than dedicated neuroscience funding.
My Advice
I would recommend you decide between a research and a clinical neuropsychology path first, since this choice determines whether you should target RTP funding in Australia or dedicated neuroscience scholarships at UK institutions like Sheffield or King's College London.
