Help with fees

We want to make sure that everyone who is eligible for the Surrey MBA has the opportunity to study with us. A number of scholarships and bursaries are available. 

£5,000 Bursaries

We have now completed our planning for the forthcoming academic year and can confirm the level of bursaries available to eligible Surrey MBA and Surrey Executive MBA applicants.

All candidates who have accepted an offer by 31 May 2012 may be considered for a bursary of £5,000. To be considered, you will need to:

  1. Meet the entry standard for the Surrey MBA
  2. Submit a 500 word essay with your application that details what you hope to get from the MBA, and most importantly, what you feel you can contribute to enhance the learning experience for your fellow students.

If you don’t wish to be considered for a bursary please submit your application without an essay.
In addition to these enhanced bursaries we will be running a competition in the media for one full scholarship and two 50% scholarships for the Surrey Executive (part-time) MBA. This will be announced during April and details will be available on this website shortly.

To be sure of your place we recommend that you submit your application and accept your offer as early as possible.
