University of Exeter Business School World Class Scholarships

A limited number of full tuition fees scholarships will be awarded to the most talented students who have had an application accepted to one of the Business School MSc programmes. The scholarships are competitive and require you to have an English language level of IELTS 7.0 or equivalent if from a non-anglophone country and submit an application form with a 1500 word essay on one of the following topics, dependent on your intended programme of study.

Management programmes

• What you consider to be “The Most Challenging Aspects of Today’s Global Business Environment”

Economics programmes

• Either, what you consider to be “The Challenges to Contemporary Macroeconomic Policy of a Zero Interest Rate Policy”; or

• “The Regulatory Challenges of Enforcing Intellectual Property Rights in the Digital Age”

Accounting and Finance programmes

• “Assume that you are a fund manager of a well-diversified portfolio, containing European and US stocks and bonds. Outline how your fund could be affected, and how you might adjust your portfolio in response to;
EITHER The European Central Bank engaging in quantitative easing
OR A long term continuation of the fall in global oil prices.”

All scholarship awards are conditional on payment of the tuition fee deposit as specified in your offer letter and registration with the University of Exeter.

Scholarships are not awarded in conjunction with other scholarships – in the event of you being eligible for more than one award the greater award will be given.
