The focus of these scholarships is to increase access to postgraduate study at Imperial for people from under represented groups. You can see further guidance on the Office for Students webpages on who may be considered an under represented group in Higher Education.

Course specific information

Application process

Applications should be submitted through our application form and a supporting CV should be sent to biofutures@imperial.ac.uk

You will be asked to provide a personal statement outlining why you want to study with us and what you aspire to do on completion of the MSc. 

Guidance to applicants on the personal statement

Take your time to compose your personal statement. Be yourself.

The best personal statements are based on the applicant’s own honest reflections about their plans and the way to get there. You may need to make more than one draft before submitting your final statement.

The question is really asking, “based on what you know about the course, why do you want to do the MSc and what do you hope to 'take away' from it that will support your future career plans?”.

Please evidence how your studying at Imperial will increase the diversity within the student body and/or how you fall within an under represented group. See Office for Student webpage for guidance on 'under represented groups'.

Additional information

All applications will be initially checked for eligibility. Applications will then be reviewed by the panel and evaluated.

The scholarship will be awarded to the applicant who is deemed by the panel to have the greatest potential in their chosen field and will gain from studying with us.
