Other eligibility requirements

To be considered for this award you must:

have applied for a place on the Curating Collections and Heritage MA
be prepared to start the course
be domiciled in the UK and not required to pay international rate fees
be self-funding (students taking out a Postgraduate Master鈥檚 Loan can apply, but applicants who will be funded by employers or other schemes are not eligible)
be an African diaspora, Asian diaspora or ethnically diverse person and/or have refugee status. For the purposes of this scholarship opportunity, people from Arab, Black, Asian, Chinese, mixed minority ethnic backgrounds and other Minority Ethnic backgrounds are welcome to apply.

It is one award for 2024 covering postgraduate course fees and travel expenses to access a mentoring programme organised by the university. Additionally, the award includes a 拢3,000 personal bursary to support study as the recipient wishes, for example, caring costs or travel costs.

The studentship is open to those already working in the museums and heritage sector, as well as to new entrants, and applicants can study full-time or part-time.

The award has been developed to help promote diversity in museums, heritage and arts curation. Recent research has shown that only 10% of managerial positions in museums are held by African diaspora, Asian diaspora and ethnically diverse people. This award is intended to help a wider range of people consider or continue a career in the sector and support museums and heritage organisations to become more representative of our society.
