The EMBA Scholarship for Professional Diversity

Overview 

This scholarship is for those candidates who are working in sectors which we feel are currently underrepresented within the diverse Executive MBA cohort each year and across the business school community more widely – this list currently includes the arts, culture and media sectors, social enterprise, NGOs and non-profit sectors, as well as those working as medical practitioners. 

Eligibility criteria 

For the 2024/25 admissions cycle, eligible sectors are: 

• arts, entertainment, and media 
• healthcare (doctors, nurses, surgeons-biotech, pharma and R&D are not eligible) 
• social enterprise 
• public sector 
• NGO and non-profit 

You must be working in one of the sectors identified above in your current role, in order to be considered for this scholarship award. The scholarship is awarded based on the candidate’s application, scholarship submission, and strength of their professional background. 

How to apply 

To be considered for this scholarship, please indicate this on the application form.

You will then be invited to take part in a recorded online assessment. 

Successful applicants will be notified within 6 weeks of the deadline.
