Economics and Finance Placement Scholarship

The Economics and Finance Placement Scholarship is designed to support home students from the School of Economics and Finance at Queen Mary University of London who come from low-income households. The scholarship aims to enable eligible students to participate in the year in industry programme by covering the full cost of tuition fees for the academic year during which the industrial placement is undertaken, normally in year 3 of the academic programme. This scholarship provides £1,905 to cover the full tuition fee costs for students undertaking a work placement year as part of their degree programme. Five scholarships are available annually for the 2025/26 academic year, subject to confirmation. The scholarship is awarded based on academic merit, specifically to students who have achieved the highest weighted average grade across their first and second years of study. To be eligible, students must be paying full home tuition fees, have secured an approved work placement, meet academic progression requirements, and demonstrate an annual household income below £42,000. The scholarship supports undergraduate students enrolled in degree courses at the School of Economics and Finance that include a year in industry component.
