What’s new
New scholarships have been announced from the University of Bradford’s School of Management. These are to help students progress their careers or explore a different career path by pursuing postgraduate study.
A number of the scholarships can be used for the School of Management’s revised MSc programmes. The latest programme developments have updated content on:

The Dean of the Faculty of Management, Law and Social Sciences, Professor Zahir Irani, said, “We know many students are held back from doing a postgraduate degree due to financial worries or time constraints. We hope that with these scholarships and our flexible courses, we can encourage more people to look into postgraduate courses as a viable next step in their career.”
