Strathclyde Full Time MBA 60th Anniversary Scholarships

In 1966, the University of Strathclyde Business School launched the first one year MBA programme in the UK.  Six decades on, the Strathclyde MBA continues to be practice focused, built on rigorous foundations, and developing responsible leaders of the future. Our MBA enhances employability, promotes character development in leadership, and offers entrepreneurial development. All this within a socially progressive business school and  “the place of useful learning”.

To celebrate our Diamond anniversary, we are delighted to offer eligible candidates one of our Strathclyde MBA 60th Anniversary scholarships, which offer a significant reduction on our annual tuition fees: 50% discount on total tuition fee of £38,650 for the 2026/7 academic year.

Our Strathclyde MBA 60th Anniversary scholarships will be awarded to those candidates who demonstrate a combination of excellent academic performance, significant professional, managerial, or leadership experience, and strong career development via their MBA programme application, and interview. Recipients are also expected to contribute to the academic, cultural, and experiential profile of the programme cohort.

Eligibility

All applicants who hold an offer of a place on the Full-time MBA September 2026 programme, will be automatically considered for this award, therefore no separate scholarship application is required. Awards will only be made to candidates who have undergone an MBA admissions interview with a successful outcome.

Scholarship awards will be extended to exceptional candidates who are prepared to act as ambassadors for the Strathclyde FT MBA. Who can demonstrate through their ideas outlined in their programme application as well as their interview how they would contribute to bring the class together through teamwork to create community, from the outset, in order to achieve the ultimate learning (and social) experience for the group as a whole.

Leadership/management skills or potential, overall quality of the programme application and financial need will also be considered.
