To support our students who are funding their own studies,
Essex Business School is offering scholarships worth £5,000 to students seeking
to join its MBA course in October 2013.
Awards will be made on the basis of grades obtained in your
first degree, so all our MBA course applications, received by the given
deadline, will automatically be considered for this scholarship. A fee discount
of £5,000 will be applied to those who are selected for the award. Up to 20
scholarships are available for 2013 entrants.
Eligibility
The award is restricted to Home (UK), EU and overseas
students who are entirely self-funded. It is not available to students who are
fully or partly sponsored.
All MBA course applicants who hold the equivalent of a UK
first class honours Bachelor's degree (see below for equivalencies) and an
IELTS score of 7.0 or higher will automatically receive a scholarship.
MBA course applicants with the following qualifications will
also be considered for a scholarship by the MBA Director and MBA Deputy
Director, if numbers permit:
- The equivalent of a UK 2.1 Bachelor's degree and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5*; or
- Ten years' work experience (including five years' relevant managerial experience) and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 1.
Only one scholarship award can be made per student and the
award cannot normally be held in conjunction with other University of Essex
scholarships.
Where a student to whom a scholarship has been offered
requests deferred entry, the award will be considered again in line with the
terms and conditions that apply in the new proposed year of entry.
The award is available to full-time students and also to
part-time and modular students on a pro rata basis.
