Funding and scholarships

We offer a number of scholarships to help support you while you're studying with us, and will consider flexible fee payment options if you're studying part-time or through online learning. The application deadlines for funding are often earlier than the application deadlines for our courses, so you'll need to keep this in mind when applying.

Many funding opportunities ask you to submit a supporting statement with your application. This should focus on your relevant academic and professional achievements, and how your development would be supported by studying with us.

You'll learn how to address a range of ethical issues, and have the opportunity to provide your organisation with valuable insights by assessing its ethics policy as one of your projects.
