MSc Energy Geoscience Bursaries 2026

The Energy Transition Centre for Masters’ Training (CMT) and the Geoscience Energy Society of Great Britain (GESGB) will be jointly funding 12 Bursaries, each valued at £6000 per annum, for students who will be enrolled in an energy geoscience-related MSc course for the forthcoming academic year 2026/2027. The principal objective of this CMT GESGB initiative is to attract highly talented students into vocational training in energy geoscience; an integral UK “home-grown” part of the energy sector. As we are well aware, the continuing decline in student numbers (UG and PG) in geoscience over the past few years is a concern. The intent of the Bursaries is to make a contribution to reverse this trend. Funding of the Bursaries is kindly provided equally by GESGB and CMT sponsors; bp, CNOOC and ExxonMobil.
