About this opportunity
The Sustainability Leadership for the Built Environment Access Bursary is designed to support professionals working in the built environment who want to pursue the University of Cambridge Master's program. This two-year, part-time Master's course brings together professionals from all built environment disciplines to explore the radical change and innovation needed to deliver sustainable and resilient places and spaces. The bursary enables qualified applicants with financial needs, including those with part-funding from their company or other sources, to access this transformative educational opportunity.
Bursaries typically range from 10 to 50 per cent of the combined postgraduate fee, based on demonstrated financial need as detailed in the bursary application statement. The bursary is applied as a discount, with half of the agreed amount applied to the first year fee and half to the second year fee. Approximately 3 bursaries are available per year, ranging from £2,808 to £14,040 annually.
The program particularly welcomes applicants who have experienced social, economic or educational disadvantage, with priority consideration given to applicants from low-income backgrounds, UK citizens from ethnic minorities, citizens of countries in the DAC list of ODA recipients, and students under-represented at Cambridge including refugees or asylum seekers, carers, care-leavers, and individuals with disabilities. Applications are welcome from any candidate, irrespective of gender, nationality, or geographical location, with no restrictions on citizenship, country of residence or fee status.
