About

Up to two competitive bursaries are available for MSt in Real Estate applicants who can demonstrate their academic and professional achievements and can set out their ambitions to make positive change in the industry.

Applications are welcomed from high-achieving professionals in all areas of real estate from anywhere in the world but particularly those from less developed regions and countries. The aim of the bursary is both to support those who would not otherwise be able to afford the programme and to improve the diversity of the cohort. 

There are two bursary awards available: one representing 50% of the course fees (£8,600 per annum) and one representing 80% of the course fees (£13,760 per annum). Accommodation, travel and other expenses are not included. Applicants for both awards will be expected to state clearly the proportion of fees they, their employer, or other sources of support will fund and explain why the additional support of the bursary is needed. Additional eligibility criteria apply to the 80% award.

We place a huge value on having a diverse cohort and welcome students from all over the world from all backgrounds.

50% bursary

For the 50% bursary (£8,600 per annum), applications are welcome from any candidate, irrespective of gender, ethnic background, nationality, or geographical location. There are no restrictions on citizenship, country of residence, country of employment, or fee status. The key criteria for the granting of an award will be:

(1) That the candidate is unlikely to be able to attend the programme without the financial support requested or that without the award the candidate will face financial hardship.

(2) That the candidate brings characteristics, background, or experience that is not otherwise well represented in the cohort (and/or the real estate industry).

(3) That the candidate is committed to the programme and able to fund all fees and expenses not covered by the award.

80% bursary

For the 80% bursary (£13,760 per annum), applications are welcome from any candidate who is a resident of and currently working in any country on the DAC list of ODA recipients (link), irrespective of gender, ethnic background, or nationality. There are no restrictions on citizenship or fee status. Beyond the restrictions on country of residence and country of employment indicated above, the key criteria for the granting of an award will be:

(1) That the candidate is unlikely to be able to attend the programme without the financial support requested or that without the award the candidate will face financial hardship.

(2) That the candidate brings characteristics, background, or experience that is not otherwise well represented in the cohort (and/or the real estate industry).

(3) That the candidate is committed to the programme and able to fund all fees and expenses not covered by the award.

The recipient will be required to submit a short report on their course experience at the end of each academic year outlining the impact of the bursary on their Cambridge experience for use in print and online by the Department of Land Economy.
