More about the opportunity:
These bursaries offer an exciting and significant opportunity to prospective students who might otherwise be unable to undertake postgraduate study due to financial barriers. The bursaries cover full tuition fees for the two-year MA, as well as a stipend toward living costs of £8000 per year.
The bursaries are part of an ambitious 3-year programme of development activity led by The NewBridge Project in partnership with Newcastle University, and supported by the North of Tyne Combined Authority Skills for Growth Programme.
The bursaries are aimed at prospective students living in the North of Tyne area (Newcastle, the Borough of North Tyneside and Northumberland) who have faced barriers to accessing higher or postgraduate education. They are intended to create pathways into study for people who have experienced financial hardship or other barriers, and/or have not previously participated in higher education but have a creative practice.
The deadline to apply for this opportunity is Tuesday 7 May 2024.
