Upskilling and Retraining Scholarship

About the
Scholarship

Recent Engineering UK statistics identified an annual shortfall of up to 59,000 engineering graduates and technicians to fill core engineering roles. We want engineering to be an accessible career choice for current workers looking to retrain and make ASU-London a great option for people already working in engineering looking to upskill.
