MRBA extends bursaries to cover MRS Foundation Course

UK – Market research industry charity the Market Research Benevolent Association (MRBA) has expanded its bursary offer with the aim of supporting UK researchers at the beginning of their careers.

The MRBA will now offer bursaries for MRS Foundation Course and MRS Certificate in Market Research through its MRBA Skills bursary scheme.

The move extends the charity’s scheme beyond the MRS Advanced Certificate in Market and Social Research, which it has offered bursaries for since 2018.

Announcing the news in an email sent by MRS on behalf of MRBA, the MRBA said: “This bursary is to support young UK market and social researchers who work at smaller organisations where there aren’t always large training budgets or perhaps are working in an operations role and wish to upskill in research.”

The MRS Foundation Course gives learners an understanding of the role of market and social research in society and business, and an awareness of the processes involved in designing and planning effective research.

The course is a standalone learning tool but is also a popular study route to the MRS Certificate in Market Research qualification.
