We offer 10 annual Master’s degree scholarships worth £10,000 for students with an interest in dementia or diabetes research.
HDR UK is partnering with charities and industry to offer master’s degree funding and research opportunities for up to ten talented students.
The scholarships are jointly funded by HDR UK and partners including Diabetes UK and Alzheimer’s Research UK.
