The School of Economics and Finance at Queen Mary University of London is delighted to introduce a new Women in Economics and Finance Scholarship worth £6,000 for highly qualified postgraduate taught offer holders joining us in September 2026 and January 2027 (only available programmes).

• Hold an offer for an eligible postgraduate taught programme for the September 2026 intake*

Women in Economics and Finance Scholarships will be awarded automatically to eligible applicants. There is no application or registration process. The scholarship will be deducted from a recipient’s tuition fees when they enrol at Queen Mary. 

Terms and Conditions:

• You must have achieved a minimum 2:1 Honours degree or an overseas equivalent degree. Information on the comparability of international qualifications can be found on the Entry Requirements section under the listings for each programme in the course finder. Please note this information is only intended as a guide and the final decision on equivalency of overseas qualifications will be made by the QMUL Admissions Office.
