Fee Scholarships

MSc Technology Management Scholarship

After a successful launch last year, the Centre for Adult Learning & Professional Development at NUI Galway is delighted to announce, that it will again be supporting the development of female leadership in the technology sector, by offering scholarships to eligible women. This year there will be two scholarships available for the MSc in Technology Management, starting in September 2020. The scholarships aim to advance female leadership and increase diversity in technology organisations and all high-tech environments.

Each scholarship is valued at €7,900, which is 50% of the fee for the MSc in Technology Management, and will be awarded on a competitive basis. Applications will open on 2nd January 2020 and will be accepted until 10th July 2020. The scholarship is awarded in conjunction with the 30% Club. Globally, the 30% Club is establishing partnerships with Universities to rectify the under-representation of women at senior levels in organisations, particularly apparent in the technology sector. One of the mechanisms being employed to achieve this is by supporting women to undertake postgraduate technology courses.
