Burn Care specific bursaries
The QMUL London Southeast Burns Network bursary – for students wishing to complete the PG Certificate in Burn Care.
This scheme is due to start in 2016 and involves the award of two bursaries for staff employed by the burn units / centres / facilities within the London and Southeast Burns Network (Broomfield, East Grinstead, Stoke Mandeville, Chelsea & Westminster hospitals).
Each bursary equates to £1,000 towards the cost of completing the one year PG Certificate course. Upon successful completion, graduates may choose to upgrade to the MSc programme by completing the 4 remaining modules and the 15,000 word dissertation. The upgrade fees will be the sole responsibility of the student.
