What is an Entente Cordiale Scholarship?
An Entente Cordiale scholarship can help you fund one year of postgraduate study in a British university, whether at Masters or doctoral level. The scheme is entirely funded by the private sector; current sponsors include Areva, Rolls Royce, EDF Energy, Schlumberger, Dassault, Rothchild & Cie.
The maximum amount offered for a scholarship is £10 000, which is paid directly to the scholar and can be used as a contribution to tuition fees or living expenses during your year in the UK. We try to award a range of scholarships in different disciplines, in order to preserve the unique diversity of the scheme and its alumni network. Entente Cordiale Alumni work across all sectors of professional activity, from business and industry, to the arts, to research, to government, to civil society.
What courses does the scholarship cover?
The scholarship can fund Master's courses, running over a period of twelve months, or one year of a PhD programme. The scholarship is for one year only and is not renewable.
Notice: Entente Cordiale scholarships are not aimed at students who are undertaking a co-tutelle de thèse or a PCGE course, or who are participating in an ERASMUS exchange, for which alternative funding sources normally exist. Our scholarships are also not aimed at students or reseachers wishing to carry out a period of research in the UK as part of their French doctorate, nor are they available to undergraduate students.
What sort of profile do successful candidates have?
One of the main aims of the scheme is to assist successful candidates in playing leading roles in the future of their country. French Entente Cordiale Alumni are now pursuing careers in diverse fields such as the World Health Organisation, various Ministries and local government. Many former scholars go on to work in the private sector, in banking, law firms and consultancy; others are active in journalism, curating, design and film-making.
