Bioengineering Master's Widening Participation Scholarship

The Bioengineering Master's Widening Participation Scholarship is a funding opportunity offered by Imperial College London to support students from widening participation backgrounds pursuing postgraduate taught or research Master's degrees in Bioengineering. The scholarship provides a comprehensive funding package designed to enable students who received maintenance support during undergraduate studies to pursue advanced studies in bioengineering fields. This scholarship offers both a tuition fee top-up to cover the gap between the UK government Master's loan and the full tuition fee costs, as well as a living stipend set at the UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) rate. The award is specifically targeted at UK-domiciled students with home fee status who have not previously completed a Master's or PhD degree and who were in receipt of maintenance grants or higher-rate maintenance loans during their undergraduate studies. Up to three scholarships are available for the 2025/2026 academic year across a range of Bioengineering Master's programs, including MSc Biomedical Engineering, MSc Engineering for Biomedicine, MSc Human and Biological Robotics, MRes Bioengineering, MRes Neurotechnology, MRes Cancer Technology, and MRes Medical Device Design and Entrepreneurship. The scholarship aims to increase access to advanced bioengineering education for students from underrepresented socioeconomic backgrounds.
