Up to £5,000 for home fee-paying students linked to the creative technologies industry.

Applications for 2024/25 are now closed. Applications for the 2025/26 MyWorld Scholarship will open soon and close at 9am (BST) on Thursday 21 August.

The MyWorld Scholarship supports home (UK) fee-paying students who are from underrepresented groups in higher education to access taught postgraduate study linked to the creative technologies industry.

Awards of up to £5,000 (pro-rata for the amount of credit they are studying) are available in 2024/25 and will be paid against the student’s tuition fees for a taught postgraduate degree programme as a fee reduction/waiver.

About the award

  • Successful applicants will need to be enrolled and engage in a taught postgraduate programme, studying either part-time or full-time.
  • The programme of study must be linked to the creative technologies industry and be offered at Bath Spa University.
  • The scholarship will only apply for 2024/25, irrespective of the duration of the course.
  • Successful awardees undertaking a two-year part-time postgraduate programme are welcome to reapply each year of their study for the scholarship but they will be assessed in the same way as everyone else applying in that year of study (the 2024/25 academic year).
