What other conditions are there?
You will also need to be from a background that is under-represented at your chosen university, and you must not already be in possession of a masters degree or its equivalent.

How do I know if I qualify as a student from an under-represented background?
You may qualify as under-represented if you are:

• A student from a low performing socio-economic background or area; or a student who is the first in their family to attend university and or/continue on to postgraduate study.
• A student with a disability that would normally make it difficult or more expensive for you to continue to postgraduate study.
• A student from a background that is under-represented in the specific discipline you wish to study (for example, a female wishing to study a male-dominated subject).

Which Postgraduate courses can I apply for?
To find out which courses are eligible, please email us or call Bucks at 01494 603 020.

What else do I need to know?

• The only postgraduate degrees excluded are qualifications such as postgraduate diplomas and certificates, along with research degrees that aren't defined as taught programmes.
• You can also apply for this bursary if you wish to study part-time.
• You will not be required to pay the 2015 busary back.
