As part of our Memorandum of Understanding with ICETEX, we are proud to offer and co-ordinate ICETEX Scholarships for Colombian professionals wishing to study a postgraduate Master’s Degree at the University of Salford.
If you are planning to begin your studies in September 2027, you may be eligible for:
- One fully funded scholarship covering 100% of the tuition fee.
- Ten part-funded scholarships providing a £5,000 reduction in the tuition fee.

You can also register your interest to receive relevant updates, practical resources and step-by-step guidance to help you prepare your application.
Scholarship details
All ICETEX Scholarships at Salford are awarded as reductions in tuition fees. The scholarships do not include financial support for accommodation, travel, visa costs or other living expenses. You will therefore need to cover these costs and any remaining tuition fees.
From the 30th of December 2026, the UK Government will require international students applying for a visa to study outside London to demonstrate that they have at least £10,827 to cover their living costs for one academic year. This amount is subject to change, so you should check the latest UK Student visa financial requirements before applying.
To be considered for a scholarship, you must be a Colombian national and meet the requirements for both the scholarship and your chosen master’s programme.
How to apply
You must first apply directly to the University of Salford and receive a conditional offer for a master’s programme included in the scholarship call. To apply, visit the webpage for your chosen programme and select the ‘How to apply’ option.
You will then need to complete the official ICETEX application process and submit the required documents.
Once you have submitted your ICETEX application and progressed to the next stage, you will be invited to complete the University of Salford scholarship form and answer two key questions. Further details will be shared with you at the relevant stage of the process.
ICETEX runs a competitive selection process and pre-selects candidates. The University of Salford then makes the final scholarship decisions based on the shortlist provided by ICETEX and the agreed criteria. Decisions on admission to the University are made solely by the University of Salford.
You must complete all the actions by the specified deadlines.
