Postgraduate scholarships and awards

Financial support

We can tell you the price of a postgraduate degree – but that's not the same as its value. You really can't put a price on turning your dream into reality.

We offer a range of scholarships and bursaries to help you on your way – and you don’t have to pay them back.
