Questions
Q: Do you have any scholarships or bursaries for which I could apply?
There are various competitive scholarships and bursaries which you can apply for, - including externally funded scholarships such as those from the ESRC and Commonwealth Universities Association - click here for a summary of available awards.
We also offer a Management School Studentship which covers fees (at home / EU level) and living expenses for 3 years. If you wish to be considered, you should indicate this on your application form. There is no separate application process. The studentships are normally allocated in April for October entry. If you wish to be considered for this funding, you should apply early in the cycle (January / February).

If your circumstances change and you cannot take up a place, we are happy to consider deferring your offer to the next academic year. Before we can definitely agree to this, we would need to check that this is acceptable to your potential supervisor.
