Surrey MBA Women in Leadership

At Surrey Business School we believe in breaking down barriers to inspire positive change. We want to support and develop women with the ability and talent to become future leaders.

About

The Women in Leadership Scholarship reflects Surrey Business School’s commitment to empowering the next generation of women leaders. It recognises female candidates who have already demonstrated impact in business and who aspire to mentor, inspire, and support other women in their leadership journeys. The scholarship is open to candidates joining either the full-time or part-time MBA programme.

This is a partial scholarship that covers 10 – 50% of the tuition fee, depending on the applicant’s profile and interview performance. Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis, so candidates who apply early in the admissions round have a greater chance of receiving an award. We do not charge for applications to the scholarship or the programme.
