Students looking to undertake the BPIF MSc in Management can now apply to have a significant amount of their fees paid, thanks to a £6000 bursary from The Stationers’ Foundation.
The Foundation, which forms the charitable arm of The Stationers’ Company, is offering the Postgraduate Bursary Scheme to either a single student or to be shared between several students for whom funding would be a barrier. The Stationers’ Company offers up to 12 student bursaries a year.
The MSc, run in partnership with the Management Development Centre, is aimed at those in print with at least five years’ experience in a management role, or with full membership of a professional institute wanting to take their leadership skills to the next level. As the natural next step after undertaking one of the BPIF Level 5 Graduate Print Management Courses, it usually costs £5990 + VAT to complete.
‘We are always striving to see those in the printing industry reach their full potential, and the MSc helps us do just that. said Ursula Daly, BPIF programme director. It’s a stimulating course which encourages a whole new way of thinking for those already in management positions, while building on skills already learned in their careers. I’d encourage anyone thinking of doing the course to apply for the bursary if finance is in any way a barrier.’
The funding, which also considers the academic potential of applicants, is available for the next academic year (September 2017), so applications should be made as soon as possible. Applicants who are shortlisted will then be interviewed at Stationers’ Hall, London. Successful recipients of the funding will also have the opportunity to be mentored by an appropriate Stationers’ Company member.
