Bursaries

Explore support available

As part of our commitment to becoming a more inclusive education provider, we offer a number of bursaries to new students from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic / Global Majority backgrounds.

For students starting in September 2026

Generously funded by The Tavistock and Portman Charity, a number of bursaries are available for new applicants from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic / Global Majority backgrounds, applying to study on the eligible courses, who qualify for Home fees status and who are self-funding.

Bursaries will be awarded to two students on each programme of study, covering half (50%) of the cost of the course fees and a number of mentoring sessions.

The application deadline is Sunday 26 July 2026 and you will be contacted shortly afterwards. As part of the selection process, you may be invited to an interview.

Please note: applying for the bursary is a separate process from your course application, and you must complete both to be eligible.

Testimonials

“It was reassuring that there were more than one award winners on my course. This meant the cohort was more diverse in age, ethnicity, place of residence and experience, making it more natural to engage in wider ranging and more nuanced discussions, particularly in our experiential group. It can feel harder to speak up in a less diverse group.”
Student
“My mentee experience has been highly valuable. My mentor has been a patient, active listener who has provided me with protected 1:1 time, they have been enthusiastic and willing to answer questions, provide feedback, and helped me find solutions on my own.”
Student
“The bursary has made me want to give my best to show how grateful I was for the opportunity. The mental freedom to focus on the topics and my understanding of them was only allowed due to the bursary.”
Student
“My mentor has been incredibly thoughtful and emotionally supportive throughout our sessions. She has always brought compassion and calmness to our calls, and I have appreciated having the space to reflect openly on my experiences of the course and how I have navigated completing it alongside my work commitments and placement.”
