About

Founded in 1856, Burberry is a global luxury brand with a distinctly British attitude. Their team consists of 10,000 employees worldwide, designing developing, making and selling products under the Burberry brand. Product design and development are centred in Burberry’s London headquarters. The Burberry business model is designed to create long-term sustainable value for all stakeholders.

Burberry is delighted to be working with Central Saint Martins to expand opportunities for emerging talent from diverse backgrounds. UK based students will be financially assisted through 3 years of undergraduate study and access to world class teaching, facilities and networks, essential to nurturing future artists and designers. The ‘Burberry Scholars’ will represent a variety of communities, bringing fresh perspectives to the wider creative industry.

“This is an important and generous initiative from Burberry, in that it will support students who might otherwise not flourish because of financial hardship. The scholarships are part of Burberry and Central Saint Martins’ shared commitment to London remaining an exciting hub of creativity.” - Professor Jeremy Till, Head of Central Saint Martins

The scholarship will be assessed on the basis of financial need and academic merit. It will provide a contribution towards tuition fees or course costs and living expenses for the duration of the course except the placement year.

Applications are particularly welcome from students who have progressed through the Insights Programme, who are in financial hardship and will benefit from undergraduate studies to realise their full potential.
