Funding a Masters course

Departmental Bursaries

Each Masters course has one bursary attached which covers all or part of the student's fees. All students who have been offered a place on one of our courses are eligible for these bursaries. There is no additional bursary application form; the allocation of this funding will be based on the strength of admission application. Bursaries for September 2013 entry will be allocated in June 2013.
