Admissions
Scholarships and Funding
We know that choosing to pursue a Master's program is an important decision and a substantial investment in yourself. Fees for our MSc programs are the same for both UK and international students.
In addition to the costs of tuition, you should also consider the costs of living in London during your studies and the lifestyle choices that will determine your costs. Many of the students in our Master's programs fund their studies through multiple funding sources, combining personal resources with education loans and scholarships.
Master's scholarships and bursaries
Imperial College Business School is pleased to offer significant scholarship funding to our most talented applicants. A range of scholarships are available, including several dedicated schemes for specific programs, and it is recommended that you apply early to give yourself the best chance of receiving an award.
We have three submission deadlines to apply for scholarships for our 2024 Master’s intake of students. To be considered for a scholarship you should submit your application by one of the deadlines; scholarships will be awarded from the first deadline onwards.

Please also be aware that scholarships may not be awarded following every round (e.g. if scholarships in a particular category have all been awarded or there is an insufficient number of eligible candidates in a given round).
