The Energy Transition Centre for Masters’ Training (CMT) will be awarding 6 CMT Bursaries, each valued at £6000 per annum, for students who will be enrolled in an energy geoscience-related MSc course for the forthcoming academic year 2025/26. The principal objective of this CMT initiative is to attract highly talented students into vocational training in energy geoscience; an integral UK “home-grown” part of the energy sector. As we are well aware, the continuing decline in student (UG and PG) numbers in geoscience over the past few years is a concern. The intent of the Bursaries is to make a contribution to reverse this trend. Awards Six bursaries of £6000 per annum will be funded by the CMT to support students undertaking an MSc in Energy Geoscience (or related subject) in the UK for the academic year 2025/26. Funding will be sent directly to the University Eligibility Applicants from any nationality are eligible to applyThis bursary is for new students commencing in the academic year 2025/26Programme’s eligible for this bursary include:MSc GeoEnergy Criteria Applicants must be in receipt of either a conditional or unconditional offer from a UK Geoscience taught masters’ course, and not be in receipt of any other award that fully funds the course and living expenses Applying The application deadline has now passed (Thursday 4th April 2025)Applicants must contact the Programme Director and Cohort Lead for their course and advise them that you wish to be considered for this bursary.
