Ros and Andrew Holden STEM Scholarship

Students working in a Physics lab

Applications are open to those applying for 4-year courses that include a Sandwich year, Placement Year or Year Abroad, but the award will only be applicable to the 3 years of study at the University campus and not the year away.
