About the Middlesex University Mauritius International Scholarships
Middlesex University Mauritius is the Mauritius campus of the UK's Middlesex University, offering the same internationally recognised British degree programs and awarding UK Middlesex University qualifications to students who study in Mauritius rather than London. As part of its effort to attract strong international applicants, the Mauritius campus offers a tiered structure of merit-based scholarships that reduce tuition costs for high-performing incoming students, without requiring a separate long-form scholarship essay or interview process beyond the standard admissions review.
The scholarship structure has three tiers based on the strength of a candidate's prior academic record: the Regional Merit Award, the Academic Achievement Award, and the top-tier International Excellence Scholarship. Each is applied as a reduction against tuition fees rather than paid as a cash stipend, and postgraduate students (along with final-year top-up undergraduates) receive a somewhat lower award amount than first-time undergraduate entrants at the same tier, reflecting the shorter or partial nature of some postgraduate and top-up programs.
Because Middlesex University Mauritius draws students from a genuinely global applicant pool โ the wider Middlesex University community spans well over 100 nationalities across its London, Dubai, and Mauritius campuses โ these merit awards are not restricted to a specific regional or Commonwealth bloc in the way some Mauritius government scholarships are. This makes them one of the more accessible scholarship routes into Mauritius for a Pakistani or other international applicant, since eligibility is driven by prior academic performance and admission to a qualifying program rather than passport-based nationality rules.
Studying at Middlesex Mauritius offers a lower-cost route to a UK-branded degree: tuition and living costs on the Mauritius campus are substantially below what the same Middlesex degree would cost in London, and the scholarship tiers further reduce that gap. Students also gain access to Middlesex's academic support infrastructure and, depending on the program, potential future transfer or exchange opportunities within the wider Middlesex international network.

Insider Tips & Pro Tips
Apply as early as possible โ award tiers can be influenced by the strength of the overall applicant pool for that intake
Request written confirmation of which scholarship tier you qualify for before accepting your offer, since amounts differ for undergraduate vs. postgraduate/top-up entrants
Keep certified copies of your strongest academic transcripts ready, since the merit tier awarded depends directly on your prior grades
Contact the Middlesex Mauritius admissions office directly to confirm current tier thresholds, as these are set internally and can be updated between intakes
Budget for costs the scholarship does not cover โ accommodation, visa fees, and travel are separate from the tuition-fee reduction
Ask about combinability with any other Middlesex Mauritius fee discounts or early-payment incentives, since scholarship terms can vary by program
