Subjects: Media and Communications | Medicine, Health and Biomedical Sciences | Science and Maths
The ABSW Bursaries are funded by the Wellcome Trust and aim to identify and train the science communicators of the future. Judges will be looking for flair rather than polish, an interesting perspective, and evidence that the applicant has an ability to communicate science. They will also take into account the circumstances of the applicant and put forward those applicants who they consider have the greatest potential and the best case for the award of a bursary.
The bursaries cover course fees and living expenses for post-graduate science communication courses.
For part-time study, financial support will cover fees with a margin to allow the recipients to take some unpaid leave to attend the networking seminars.
Basic requirements for applicants:
1. A background in science
2. An aptitude for communication
3. Evidence that funding for the course is not available from any other source, including employers.
Funding information
Value:
£10,000 for FT study, £5,000 for PT study
