The Department of Mathematics Scholarship for the MSc in Statistics

The Department of Mathematics is funding two bursaries each worth £10,000 which will directly contribute towards the tuition fees of the successful recipients. If the successful recipient is “Islands/Overseas” fee paying status (i.e. not Home/EU) then they must pay the remaining tuition fee balance to study here.

Who will they be awarded to?

They will be awarded to exceptional candidates who have a proven record of academic excellence. They will be reserved for candidates who show a desire and ability to continue into a postgraduate research degree after completing their MSc. (Please note: being awarded this scholarship does NOT guarantee you an offer to do a Ph.D. at Imperial College after your MSc.)
