If you are applying to study on an MSc Programme in the School of Health & Medical Sciences at either our Clerkenwell or Tooting Campuses, you may be eligible to apply for a bursary of £1,000, £2,000 or £3,000.
The Dean's Bursary for Professional Advancement will be awarded to applicants who can demonstrate commitment to professional advancement but who would find it difficult to undertake postgraduate studies without some additional financial support.
For successful applicants, the total bursary amount will be awarded to full-time students in the form of a fee waiver from the second fee instalment. For part-time students, half of the amount will be awarded in the form of a fee waiver in the first year and half in the second year of study.
Selection process
- The award will be granted strictly on merit after a shortlisting and selection process
- The decision will be made by a selection panel and will be final.
