“If still more education is to save us, it would have to be education of a different kind: an education that takes us into the depth of things” E.F. Schumacher
We do recognise that the high quality, and therefore high cost learning model we operate here is beyond some people’s financial means, and we would like our programmes to be more accessible to these students.
Therefore we have established a bursary fund for 2012/13 and strongly encourage anyone interested in our 2012 Masters programmes to apply before the initial deadline of 28 February. Strong candidates, regardless of their financial positions, will be invited to apply for a bursary.
