University Funding and Scholarship
Alongside support from external practices and trusts we are able to offer a variety of bursaries to help finance your undergraduate studies.
The School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape, in association with Turley, is pleased to offer two Turley Planning Bursary - In Memory of Stuart Irvine awards for young people from under-represented backgrounds, to study Planning at Newcastle University commencing in September 2023.
Students on the scheme will have a £5,000 maintenance bursary paid for Stages 1 & 2, increasing to £7,500 in Stage 3 (and Stage 4 if studying K400 Master of Planning). For students on the K400 Master of Planning programme there will be no payment during the Certificate in Planning Practice year, but a placement opportunity may be available with Turley.
Stuart’s friends and colleagues at Turley remember him fondly. Stuart joined Turley in Southampton in November 2005. Stuart focused on development and infrastructure issues and strategic leadership across the South East. He worked extensively in the residential and commercial sectors, offering a range of expertise relating to the preparation of planning applications and the promotion of land.
Stuart had a passion for planning and life as well as a natural and authentic warmth for people; calm authority; and dry sense of humour. Stuart was in equal measure well-respected and well-liked. A genuine people-person, he was always selfless with his time; self-effacing in his approach; and self-deprecating with his humour.
Where he had something to add he was a willing volunteer who would bring energy, commitment and insight to any task. He brought this same commitment to team and company events. He was as eager to roll up his sleeves for a charitable cause as he was to throw himself down a water-slide at team days out. He also loved to play golf and sail when the opportunity arose, ever the gracious host and always with an eye on ensuring everyone had a good time.
