MBA Scholarship (ARU)

What the MBA Scholarship gives you

You get a one-off cut to your tuition fees in your first year at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in England. A one-year MBA gets a reduction of about 4,650 EUR (4,000 GBP). A two-year MBA that includes a work placement gets about 2,300 EUR (2,000 GBP). If you cannot secure a placement, you move to the same 4,650 EUR reduction as the one-year course. This is a fee discount, not a cash or monthly payment, and it applies once, in your first year. It comes directly from ARU.

Who can apply

• Course: You are enrolled in one of ARU's MBA programmes: the standard Master of Business Administration, Banking and Finance, Digital Marketing, Entrepreneurship, FinTech and Data Analytics, or Project Management with Artificial Intelligence.
• Where you study: Your course is at ARU's Cambridge or Chelmsford campus.
• Enrolment: You study full time.
• Nationality: You are a UK student, or an EU/EEA student who still qualifies for UK government student finance. Non-UK/EU international students cannot apply here and have separate ARU scholarships instead.
• Start date: You begin your course in the 2025-26 academic year.

How to apply

There is no separate application. You get the MBA Scholarship automatically when you apply for one of the eligible MBA courses and meet the conditions above.

How realistic are your chances?

This is not a competitive award. Every eligible student who joins one of the listed MBA courses receives the fee reduction, so there is no selection to pass. Your only task is to meet the fixed conditions: the right course, full-time study, an eligible nationality and a 2025-26 start. If you tick those boxes, the discount is yours.
