The University of Bath is making 10 scholarships for its School of Management’s full-time MBA course available to people whose careers have been severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
The scholarships have been created in memory of Deb Lewis, former MBA director of studies who died in May and are aimed at those who have been made redundant or had to close down their business.
Core tuition fees for the year-long course starting on October 19 will be covered. The application deadline is next Wednesday, September 30, and open to anyone living in the Western Gateway area of the West of England and South Wales.
University of Bath executive director (MBA and Post Experience Programmes) Prof Stephen Wyatt said: “The thinking behind the scholarships is to help people to rebuild their careers and contribute to our local economy.
“Deb was an outstanding teacher, colleague and role model. She always looked out for those who needed support and through these awards we want to honour her memory by supporting our local community during the pandemic.”
The Bath MBA, which was in the UK top 10 in last year’s The Economist WhichMBA? ranking, improves leadership and business skills to enable students to fast-track or change their careers. It has a very practical orientation with learning supported by leading academics combined with multiple opportunities to apply the acquired knowledge and insight in real-world project assignments.
Under teaching arrangements for the 20/21 academic year, students will have a full timetable of in-person learning and independent study.
