Funding your degree

WBS Scholarships

WBS scholarships are designed to promote excellence as well as support diversity and inclusion. This helps to create a rich learning environment within each of our cohorts to ensure your learning experience at WBS is maximised.

We have merit-based scholarship funding available to strong candidates for up to 25% of the tuition fees. Scholarships are awarded on an ongoing basis, so applying early may give you a stronger chance of being successful.  

Applying for a scholarship 

If you're self-funding or partially employer-funded, and are interested in applying for a scholarship, you will need to submit a written statement (up to 500 words) with your application outlining why you believe you should be awarded a scholarship, taking the elements listed below into consideration. 

• Evidence of individual impact
• Alignment with WBS’ core values – Curiosity, Openness, Restlessness and Excellence
• A desire to make a positive difference in your role, your organisation, or beyond 
• A willingness to fulfil future ambassadorial duties for the School.  Successful applicants are expected to work closely with the marketing and recruitment teams in attracting future talent onto the programme.

Alumni Loyalty Discount

Available for Warwick alumni who possess a thirst for new knowledge, new experiences, and strive to better themselves and the world around them. A loyalty discount of 25% will be awarded for such individuals who are applying to the MSc.

Please note that all alumni from the University of Warwick who are accepted onto a postgraduate Masters course receive a minimum 10% scholarship from the Warwick Alumni Discount Scheme and any alumni scholarships awarded by WBS are inclusive of this award.

Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships

As part of the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission’s (CSC) commitment to promoting global prosperity, we are delighted to announce the availability of five scholarships to qualifying candidates from low, middle and upper-middle income Commonwealth countries who would otherwise be unable to afford to undertake the study programme. The CSC will award a bursary of £18,000 and Warwick Business School will cover the remaining tuition fees with a WBS bursary.

Please note that applications for the Commonwealth Scholarship have now closed. 

Bursaries

As part of the collaboration between WBS and the Bank of England to support technical co-operation and to create a constituency for good financial regulation, we are pleased to offer a number of 66% tuition‑fee bursaries for our Postgraduate Awards. These bursaries are available to eligible candidates working in central banks or regulatory bodies.

The bursaries are available for all upcoming intakes, and applicants may choose any module leading to a Postgraduate Award qualification. Explore the modules available.
