MBA-Colleges-Scholarship

BU’s Business School is increasing its international reputation as a provider of thought leadership and contemporary business education.
Thanks to a generous donation from Harvard graduate and serial entrepreneur Dominic Marrocco, The Dominic Marrocco Centre for Entrepreneurship at the Business School is offering exceptional candidates the chance to win a scholarship for the Bournemouth MBA. The scholarship will cover all full–time tuition fees.
The Bournemouth MBA
The Bournemouth MBA is the course for professionals seeking core business and management expertise before extending into one of several bespoke industry specialisms.
You will study at our impressive Executive Business Centre in Bournemouth, on the stunning South coast.
A recent study by the Association of MBAs revealed that 79% of members chose to study an MBA to improve their job opportunities. With an average salary of £66,500 on completion of an MBA, it’s a sound investment.
To apply for a scholarship you will need to submit an essay that addresses the following question, in no more than 1,000 words:
“What do you consider to be the main cognitive and social factors influencing entrepreneurial success?”
You will need to complete and submit an online scholarship application form and abide by the terms and conditions of entry.
The competition closes at midnight on Sunday 22 August 2010.
Should you wish to submit your application by post, then please email mba@bournemouth.ac.uk and we will advise you how to do so.
