Head of School Masters Scholarships

This scholarship is intended to be a stepping-stone to pursue a future PhD to undertake an academic career path in the creative industries.

Applicants must have first submitted a taught postgraduate study application form to be eligible for the School of Design Head of School Masters Scholarship. These awards are only available to applicants who would be liable to pay academic fees at the full Home or International fee rate. Applicants must normally hold a First Degree at undergraduate level equivalent to at least a UK First Class Honours degree and should be considered to be the ‘best of the best' (eg, successful applicants are likely to be in the top 5% of their BA cohort). Applicants should be in their final year of study. Applicants should not have more than 50% of their postgraduate tuition fees covered for them.

Further information

Scholarships are not awarded on a first-come first-served basis – all applications will be assessed after the closing date.

Applicants will receive an email confirming receipt of their application. Applications are logged by the School's Taught Postgraduate Admissions Office. The Head of School, the Director of Student Education, and the Director of Taught Postgraduate Studies, then meet to consider the shortlist and select successful applicants.
