If you are planning to study the MA Social Work at BU, you may be eligible for a postgraduate bursary during your study.
A postgraduate social work bursary is:
- awarded to eligible students
- available to both part-time and full-time students
- a grant not a loan
- made up of a non-means tested basic grant and a means-tested maintenance grant
These bursaries don’t need to be paid back, and are awarded in recognition of the fact that you are expected to undertake hands-on placements, limiting your ability to get a part-time job.
Please note that if you are successful in your application for the MA Social Work Bursary you will not then be eligible for the postgraduate loan in addition.
You should apply for your bursary at the earliest opportunity. You are encouraged to submit your application by 31 July to guarantee payment for September.
If you are planning to study the BA (Hons) Social Work, please view information relevant to the undergraduate bursary.
