New Bursaries for Postgraduates in Wales

We are still waiting for the Welsh Government to confirm funding for this incentive for 2022/23​.

The aim of the Postgraduate Taught Masters Incentivisation Bursary Scheme is to increase the number of Welsh graduates who remain in, or return to Wales, to study a postgraduate master’s degree.

These Master’s bursaries will continue to be available for the 2021/22 academic year:

  • A £2,000 STEMM Bursary for graduates of all ages studying a Master’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics or Medicine, often referred to as ‘STEMM’ subjects.
  • A £1,000 Welsh Medium Bursary to study through the medium of Welsh. The bursary aims to support the continued development of the Welsh-speaking workforce and help achieve the target of a million Welsh speakers by 2050.

Bursaries are available to full and part time students with part students will receive their bursaries in equal instalments each year of their course.

New Bursary for Postgraduates over the age of 60

The Welsh Government is funding a new bursary for postgraduate students aged 60+.

  • A £4,000 bursary for people over the age of 60. The grant aims to provide additional support for students over 60, who are currently unable to access the same financial support as younger students due to HM Treasury restrictions.

Bursaries are available to full and part time students with part students will receive their bursaries in equal instalments each year of their course.
These above Bursaries are not available to Post Graduate students who receive funding from

  • a healthcare or social work bursary
  • National Health Service (NHS)
  • Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS)
  • Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS)
  • The Care Council Wales
  • any allowance, bursary or award made under the KESS 2 Scheme.

Or for :

  • Postgraduate Doctoral degrees;
  • Master’s degrees that are undertaken as an integral part of a Postgraduate Doctoral degree;
  • Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) or Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip);
  • Postgraduate courses that are funded by undergraduate student finance, such as Initial Teacher Education (ITE), or Integrated Master’s.

Application

NO Application required: All students who are eligible for these bursaries will be contacted directly by the University after registration in the new academic year, with the bursary to be applied as a fee waiver to reduce the cost of your tuition fee in most cases.
