This is a bit of a marketing gimmick, but when you're paying for an MBA, every little bit helps.

Looks like Brunel is offering £5,000 scholarships to select EU nationals entering the 2011 MBA program, which will bring the cost down to £12,500. Here are the details, according to Brunel:

The £5,000 scholarships will be offered to exceptional candidates who can demonstrate:

- Fulfilment of the entry qualifications for the Brunel MBA: to be eligible for consideration, candidates will need a UK bachelor?s degree at 2.1 or above - or its overseas equivalent - together with a minimum of three years? post graduation work experience
- A managerial position with responsibility for leading a team of professionals and/or a financial budget of a significant size and/or the delivery of an important project
- Clear career progression to date together with the aspiration to be a senior manager
- Citizenship of an EU Member State

I think Henley used to run its full-time MBA at Brunel, and then Brunel started its MBA when Henley left. SO it's probabaly not a terrible course. I guess the scholarships are to add some token non-Asians into the cohort ;-)

I think they sum it up when they say "Our tuition fees are very competitive for an AMBA-accredited programme in the London region." If you want to be in London, then the scholarship's a great way to save money and helps Brunel have more diversity in the class.
