Bursary Competition

Pioneering Competition Gives Prospective Masters Students a Chance to Win a Bursary to Strathclyde University

Thursday, 1st March 2007

The University of Strathclyde’s Department of Marketing has recently launched a pioneering competition, with the opportunity to win a substantial bursary towards the cost of a place in one of the University’s prestigious Masters in Marketing programmes.

To enter the competition, all prospective Masters in Marketing students need do is submit a 1,000 word essay to the university’s website on the Essay Competition Submission page. The topic of this mini essay is as follows:

“Is there a contradiction between marketplace success and marketing responsibility”?

There are three prizes for the best entries:

• Best entry from a student living outside the European Union  £3,000
  (applies to full time Masters in Marketing & Masters in International Marketing programmes)

• Best entry from a student living within the European Union £2,000
  (applies to full time Masters in Marketing & Masters in International Marketing programmes)

• Best entry for any student applying for a distance learning degree £1,000
  (applies to part time Masters in Marketing – Flexible Learning)

Dr Ian Grant, senior lecturer, in the Department of Marketing at Strathclyde University, said, “The Department of Marketing has always been at the forefront of innovation in the delivery of marketing education through full time and part time programmers. Our recently revamped courses reflect our commitment to be at the cutting edge of marketing education, so it is entirely fitting that we should offer such a pioneering competition to win a bursary. We look forward to receiving applicant’s entries - and may the best essays win!”

The winning applicants will have the bursary amount deducted from their tuition fee for the Masters programme most suited to their needs. Please note that essays will only be considered by those who apply and meet the programme application requirements.

The University of Strathclyde’s Department of Marketing runs three specific Masters courses, each aimed at differing sets of student needs:

·        MSc/PgDip in Marketing

The competition to win a bursary is open to all applicants who meet the entry requirements for Masters programmes in Marketing at Strathclyde: first or second class Honours degree (or equivalent qualification) and fluent English language skills. The winning entries will be decided by the relevant Course Directors. Their decision will be final.
