Alongside support from external practices and trusts we are able to offer a variety of bursaries to help finance your studies.
The School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape is offering two scholarships of £2,500, one for each stage of the Master of Architecture (5843F) programme. The Hilary Taylor Scholarship is for individuals who legally identify as female and are in need of financial assistance. Hilary believed no one should have to give up on their dreams of university study because of the financial cost. Hilary spent seven years learning her craft at Newcastle and was fiercely passionate about helping young females into the industry.
This scholarship is now accepting applications for 2023 entry.
The deadline is Friday 14 July 2023.
