MBA and Postgraduate Diploma in International Management

BBC Worldwide offers two MBA Scholarships

BBC Worldwide is to fund two students to study at a distance for the MBA in International Management. The scholarships are being offered to students in India and will cover the cost of the programme and their examination fees. Academic support for the MBA will be provided by Royal Holloway which has run the distance MBA for five years. As a partner College of the University of London, Royal Holloway participates extensively in the federal University’s International Programmes.

The first part of the scholarship competition has already been completed. One hundred applicants have been chosen at random from many more who expressed an interest in studying for the MBA.

The next stage of the competition is for the 100 applicants to submit an essay on the challenges facing Indian industry and commerce. Applicants have simultaneously been asked to apply to the University of London to ensure they meet the necessary entrance requirements. The two applicants who, in the opinion of an independent academic consultant, are judged to have written the most accomplished essays and who also meet the University’s entrance requirements will be awarded the scholarships.

The winners are expected to be announced by the end of November 2004.
