IMechE Spencer Wilks Postgraduate Masters Scholarship

The Institution of Mechanical Engineering (IMechE) invests in the future of developing engineers.

IMechE is offering a number of Postgraduate Masters Scholarships to exceptional graduates with an IMechE accredited BEng (Hons) degree to allow them to undertake an IMechE accredited Masters degree in automotive engineering for the purpose of obtaining the academic requirements for professional registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

The award is valued at:

• Full-time: up to £6,500
• Part-time: pro rata.

It is intended that study should be on a one-year full-time programme; however, if a suitable part-time two year programme is proposed, then the award may be divided equally in each year.

For a part-time programme, renewal of the award after the first year is conditional on satisfactory progress being made.
