WMG will be awarding over £1.5 million in scholarships and bursaries to students commencing study on full-time MSc programmes taught within the WMG department at Warwick, beginning in September 2025.

WMG Excellence Scholarships are merit-based awards, available on a competitive basis. With a student intake of over 1,300 each year, the scholarship scheme is designed to support excellence and diversity of perspective which will enrich the learning environment.

Applications will be judged on candidates' past academic achievements, professional experience, motivations, and vision for the future.

We have a range of award levels including £5,000, £10,000 and £15,000 tuition fees awards.
