Bursaries

MA Publishing

There are three annual bursaries available to applicants of our MA Publishing course:

The Stationers' Foundation bursary offers our MA Publishing applicants a bursary of £6,000 and, in addition, mentoring from an appropriate Stationer taking into account the recipients specific interests (conditions apply). The Stationers' Foundation is the charitable arm of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers which supports a wide range of educational initiatives from primary through to postgraduate education. Only six Universities were selected for the bursary scheme.

The Cambridge University Press bursary offers a reduction on tuition fees of £1200 for the academic year 2012/13. It is available to holders of unconditional or conditional offers for the full-time MA Publishing at Anglia Ruskin University.

More information and application forms for both the Stationers' Foundation and CUP bursaries are available on the ALSS Postgraduate Study website.

The Shakespeare and Co Internship opportunity offers one student from our MA Creative Writing, MA English Literature or MA Publishing courses the chance to gain first-hand experience in a wide range of literary activities during a two-week internship with this Paris-based literary institution.
