Commonwealth Scholarships for the study of the M.Sc.

in Finance [University of
Strathclyde] at the Institute of Finance Management (IFM)

The M.Sc. in Finance at the University of Strathclyde offered in conjunction with the Institution of Finance
Management (IFM) has been awarded a number of Commonwealth Scholarships to fund students taking
the course at IFM. The scholarships will be available for the part time (two years) course and the full time
course (one year). These scholarships will be for courses beginning in September 2014 and will cover the
fees for students living in the vicinity of Dar Es Salaam. The scholarships will also cover the travelling and
accommodation costs (for students from elsewhere in Tanzania or neighbouring Commonwealth
Countries). The part time course requires attendance at eight extended weekends of lectures at IFM.

The scholarships are highly competitive and require an academic qualification above the minimum entry
requirements for the course. Candidates must have the equivalent to a first class or upper second honours
degree.

It is necessary to be offered a place on the M.Sc. in Finance at IFM prior to submitting the scholarship
application. In the first instance applications for the M.Sc. in Finance should be submitted directly to the
University of Strathclyde to allow us to assess academic suitability.

You should contact Barbara Baillie (barbara.baillie@strath.ac.uk), the Course Administrator, to receive
information on how to proceed with an application to the Strathclyde M.Sc. in Finance. Any questions for
IFM should be directed to Dr Imanueli Mnzava (kids.mnzava@gmail.com).

application has been received at Strathclyde we will very quickly let you know the outcome of your
application and inform you if it is feasible for you to apply for the Commonwealth Scholarship.
