The CMA CGM Excellence Fund aims to encourage international students to study abroad by providing financial support for their master's courses. The CMA CGM Group is one of Lebanon's leading employers and has supported 145 students per year since the launch of the scheme in 2021. The University of Bath will support students over the next two years to study a one year master's course with us.

For September 2026, we have four full scholarship awards available for international students and students from Lebanon on selected master's programmes who wish to study at Bath.

This is a full scholarship award and covers:

• full tuition fee waiver
• a minimum yearly stipend rate of £20,780 in line with UKRI stipend levels

Travel costs, visa costs and English language tests are not included as part of this scholarship.

Register to attend our webinar on 9 December 2025 to find out more information about the scholarships.

In order to apply for this award, you must submit a separate scholarship application. You must also have first applied for one of a one-year master's programmes for 2026 entry in Management, Engineering, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence.
