Nottingham Business School - MBA Excellence Scholarship

MBA Excellence Scholarship at Nottingham Business School

You get up to 50% off your tuition fees. The Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) at Nottingham Trent University costs £25,000 for the 2026/2027 intakes, so the scholarship is worth up to about 14,500 EUR (£12,500). You do not receive cash. The discount is applied directly to your fees before you enrol. For the part-time course it is spread across your study years. Nottingham Business School awards it to applicants who show ambition, leadership and a drive to make a positive social impact.

Who can apply

• Course: You have an offer to study the Global Executive MBA (GEMBA), starting either September 2026 or January 2027.
• Offer first: You can only apply once you have been accepted onto the course and received your NTU student ID number.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply, from the UK or abroad.
• No outside sponsor: You cannot apply if a government, professional body, charity or other organisation is already paying your tuition fees.
• Not already at NTU: Current NTU students cannot apply, unless you are moving onto a new postgraduate course.
• No double funding: You cannot combine it with other NTU fee reductions, except a sport scholarship or the 20% alumni discount. Even then the combined discount cannot pass 50% of your first-year fees.

How to apply

Once you have your NTU ID, fill in an online form and write a short case around one of three NTU themes: creating opportunity, valuing ideas, or sustainability and enriching society. The deadline is 5 August 2026 (16:00 BST) for the September 2026 intake and 7 October 2026 (16:00 BST) for the January 2027 intake. A committee decides on your written application alone. You hear back within four weeks of the deadline.
