About This Opportunity

The Burdett Fellows Scholarship provides two full-time postgraduate nursing scholarships in the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care at King's College London. These scholarships are generously funded by The Burdett Trust for Nursing and cover both tuition fees and living costs, with a particular focus on developing leadership and research capacity within the nursing profession. The scholarships provide a unique opportunity for nurses and midwives who aspire to develop into senior leadership roles and improve the quality of services and outcomes for patients through building nursing research capacity both nationally and internationally. Successful recipients will be known as The Burdett Fellows and will join a collaborative research leadership network with Burdett Fellows from the University of Edinburgh. The programme provides peer support and opportunities for growth and sustainability building both nationally and globally. Fellows will work with world-leading academics at the forefront of international nursing, midwifery and palliative care research.
