Scholarships
You can apply for a scholarship to support your studies.
You'll need to submit a 500 word statement. A panel of faculty members will consider your application based on:
- your potential contribution to research, practice and diversity on the DBA
- your financial need or other circumstances that might prevent you from taking part
- partnerships you or your institution have with the University of Bath or the School of Management. This includes international activities
The amounts typically range from £1,000 - £3,000 a year.
You must complete the scholarship form alongside your DBA application. Only scholarship forms submitted and uploaded at the point of application will be considered.
