Gaining an MSc
scholarship was a huge
helping hand in my
quest to join WBS
“I took a career break to complete my Masters degree which was a risk for
me; I was also living in a particularly expensive area which meant I had to
plan my finances carefully. My scholarship took away some of that worry
and made me realise how much WBS valued my application, which made me
value my place with them in turn.”
