Scholarships

The closing date for applicants for the John Pickford Scholarship is 2 July 2010. This funds fees for one MSc student to study a MSc at Loughborough (starting in October 2010). Applicants must already have an unconditional offer of a place on the MSc programme.

Thirteen new Loughborough University Development Trust scholarships, partially funding study for Postgraduate Certificate by distance learning, will be advertised later in the year for students to start in January 2011.

Accreditation by JBM of WEDC DL MSc programmes

The distance learning MSc programmes Water and Environmental Management and Water and Waste Engineering have been accredited by JBM as meeting the requirements for ‘Further Learning’ for a Chartered Engineer. Distance learners must already have acquired a BEng (Hons) that is CEng-accredited. Loughborough-based programmes have been accredited in a similar way for some time, and the accreditation for the DL programmes is backdated to run for the same period (intakes in 2006–2010 inclusive).
