Bursaries

The Department of Music is pleased to be able to offer two bursaries, each worth £2,500, to read for a taught MA in Music at Bristol University during the academic year 2012-13. One bursary is open to all taught MA in Music applicants, the other is specifically for a Bristol Arts graduate.

The bursaries are managed through the University’s Centenary Campaign and have been made available thanks to the generosity of anonymous donors from the University’s alumni community.

In the case of the bursary only open to Bristol Arts graduates, all students (home and overseas) graduating from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Bristol between June 2010 and June 2012 are eligible to apply.

Both bursaries may be used to offset tuition fees on any MA Music pathway, including the MA in Composition for Film and Television.

The bursaries are available either for full-time or part-time study. In the case of full-time study, half of the bursary will be awarded at the beginning of each Semester. Where it is awarded for part-time study, half of the bursary will be awarded at the beginning of the first part-time year and the other half at the beginning of the second.

To apply for the bursaries, you must already have applied for, and been accepted onto, a Bristol University MA Music programme for 2012-13. Deadline 30 April 2012.

The successful candidate will be notified within four weeks of the closing date.
