Value of bursaries
Bursaries are available on a discretionary basis for one year only and are worth £11,050 each:
tuition fees (home and EU students) – £4,050
stipend – £7,000.
Latest courses start on 30 September 2009 and follow our flexible block delivery pattern of six intensive weeks at the University spread over the year with most of the remaining study being possible in the workplace with directed and supported self study, plus a research project which can also be work based.
Paul Shelton, Assistant Dean, (Education Partnerships and Opportunities) School of Science & Technology, says: ‘This new tranche of funded bursaries will support the work we are doing with employees recently made redundant and those engineering staff whose jobs might otherwise be ‘at risk’. They can provide an up-skilling sabbatical until the eventual upturn in the economy.
‘Much of the content is designed around industrial applications and provides opportunity for students with an industry background to incorporate work-based projects into their studies. Employers and human resources managers seeking to protect their engineering skills base or individuals who wish to improve their career prospects are encouraged to contact the University for further details.’
Applicants should have a minimum of a 2:2 degree in a related subject and industrial experience.
