Scholarships and Funding (2013 entry)
We know that undertaking a postgraduate programme can be a significant financial commitment and we are therefore making available significant scholarship funds for applicants who have been offered a place on the MSc Quantitative Finance programme for entry in October 2013 and who meet our scholarship criteria. The scholarship amounts vary and are typically awarded in the amounts of £1,000 to £4,000, but can be up to 50% of the fees.
You will automatically be considered for a scholarship when we review your application and while funds are available. There is no need to complete any additional paperwork, however you may be invited to participate in a short telephone interview as part of the selection process. Our admissions team will advise you by email if you have been shortlisted.
If you receive a scholarship you may be asked to act as a student ambassador and or student representative for your programme.
