About University of Sheffield

The University of Sheffield developed from three local institutions: the Sheffield School of Medicine, Firth College and the Sheffield Technical School. The School of Medicine, founded 1828, was by far the oldest. Its early history was very insecure and it was saved from collapse by the opening of Firth College, which took over the teaching of all basic science subjects to medical students.

The Sheffield MBA Scholarship Scheme

Aim and Benefits of The Sheffield MBA Scholarship Scheme

We are offering a number of scholarships up to 50% of the tuition fees on a competitive basis for students starting their MBA in September 2025.

Requirements for The Sheffield MBA Scholarship Scheme Qualification

As part of the application process, the admissions team will assess the application, including the supporting statement. Candidates will be also assessed by their performance at their interview with the MBA admissions team.

• Applicants to the scholarship are required to hold any offer to study the Sheffield MBA, conditional or unconditional.
• Applicants who have been offered a place through the exceptions process cannot be considered for a scholarship.

Interview date, Process and Venue for The Sheffield MBA Scholarship Scheme

We will assess the application form, including the supporting statement and use this together with your performance at the interview with our MBA admissions team, to award an overall score.  

When assessing your application, we will give regard to how you addressed the following questions (200 words per question) in your supporting statement:

• What has influenced/motivated your decision to choose to study an MBA?
• What are your professional strengths and areas for development?
• How will the Sheffield MBA support you in your ongoing development?
• How do you think you stand out based on your professional experience and any other notable achievements?

All candidates' scores will be reviewed by the MBA admissions panel and recommendations will be passed to the MBA Programme Director for final approval.

Key dates 

We will award scholarships throughout the year.  You will receive an offer to study the Sheffield MBA before you are made a scholarship offer.

Candidates must accept their scholarship and pay the deposit by the date given. 

Application Deadline

How to Apply

Scholarships will be awarded to candidates who can demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, career progression, and potential to contribute to the MBA programme.

You do not need to complete a separate application for the scholarship.  All candidates who are offered a place on the full-time MBA will automatically be considered for our MBA scholarship.

Please read our guidance before you submit your MBA application.
