Dean's Excellence Scholarship Programme

Award

The Business School are offering up to 20 scholarships between £5,000 and £10,000 covering part of the tuition fees for Masters students.  These awards will be tenable for one academic year and will be automatically deducted from your tuition fee.

• You are fully sponsored by your employer
• You are in receipt of a full scholarship
