To mark its 50th anniversary, Bradford University School of Management is offering six cut-price MBA scholarships.

The six scholarships are being made available for £2,000 each – less than half price – for students studying in the UK, although modules can be taken through its global campuses in Dubai, Manila, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The school is offering three full-time MBA scholarships, including one for the accelerated MBA completed in only ten months, and three places for the two-year part-time MBA which executives complete while working.

Jon Reast, SOM acting dean, said: “These scholarships are a rare opportunity for any experienced manager wanting an MBA but struggling to afford it.

“Next year is our 50th anniversary and will probably be the most exciting year to do an MBA at our school. We are contacting alumni from all over the world to engage with our campaign around the new industrial revolution as well as leading global corporates.”

Further scholarships are available for overseas students and 15 per cent discounts for all qualifying alumni.

Applicants for the scholarships have to write a 600-word blog on the challenges managements face in developing new business models around the principles of the circular economy. Further information is available from bradford.ac.uk/management/scholarships.
