Sustainability Leadership for the Built Environment Access Bursary

The Sustainability Leadership for the Built Environment (SLBE) is a two-year, part-time, University of Cambridge Master's for all built environment professionals. The course has been designed specifically for professionals working in the built environment who want to deliver sustainable and resilient places and spaces which are crucial to our common future. It brings together professionals from all the built environment disciplines to explore the radical change and innovation needed to achieve this through the interdisciplinary, collaborative effort and visioning of all the disciplines and professions working together within the design team. We strive to enable qualified applicants to study on the Sustainability Leadership for the Built Environment (SLBE) program and encourage all applicants with financial needs, including those with part-funding from their company or any other source, to consider applying for a bursary.

Typically, bursaries range from 10 to 50 per cent of the combined postgraduate fee, based on need as detailed in the bursary application statement. The bursary is not transferable and will be applied as a discount – half of the agreed bursary applied to the first year fee and half applied to the second year fee.

We recognise the importance of diversity of perspective and experience within our cohorts and seek to optimise the diversity of cohorts to the benefit of all our students. In particular, we welcome applicants who have experienced social, economic or educational disadvantage, with an express objective of ensuring that the bursary is used to enable applications from disadvantaged backgrounds to access the opportunity of study with us. We will particularly consider:

• Applicants from a low-income background
• UK citizen from ethnic minorities
• Citizens of a country in the DAC list of ODA recipients
• Students who are under-represented at Cambridge including but not limited to; refugees or asylum seekers, carers, care-leavers, individuals with a disability

 Applications are welcome from any candidate, irrespective of gender, nationality, or geographical location. There are no restrictions on citizenship, country of residence or fee status.
