One of the UK’s top universities, UCL is offering chances to take its new degree in Audio Storytelling for free, plus a £15,000 living allowance.
UCL’s East London Scholarship Scheme is open to students qualifying for home fees, who are interested in studying full or part-time taught Master’s degree programmes but are finding finance a barrier.
There are 10 scholarships available, with two awards ring-fenced for eligible final year UCL undergraduates. These scholarships coincide with the launch of UCL’s new campus in Stratford.
Journalist and documentary maker Athar Ahmad, who is leading the new MA believes the scholarships will help strengthen the broader media landscape, he says: “This is a hugely exciting time to be part of the radio and podcast space and UCL wants to help shape its future.
“Individuals who might not otherwise have thought about a career within audio will have the opportunity to really get to grips with the art of storytelling, learning from leading factual storytellers while bringing their own experiences and distinct perspectives to the industry.”
UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world.
If you’re interested in applying for a scholarship and have links to East London, you can apply on the UCL website. The deadline for applications is 5pm on Thursday 29 June.
