Can I apply for a bursary for a placement that is part of my degree course?
No, the bursaries are available to assist with the funding of opportunities that do not form part of your course requirements. You may not request a bursary to fund opportunities such as electives, or opportunities that are part of an accredited module.
If you undertake work experience which also enables you to collect data which you may use in your dissertation, that may be acceptable. However, if you are planning an activity specifically so that you may gather data for your dissertation and you will not be undertaking work experience with an organisation, that would not be appropriate.
