Rees Jeffreys Road Fund is working with 12 UK universities to provide bursaries for students to study for an MSc in transport.
The scheme details have been released for bursaries for the academic year 2026-27. Applications are made via universities. The deadline for applications is 3rd July 2026.
Rees Jeffreys Road Fund hopes to encourage more people to study for a transport related MSc – both those who are new to the transport sector and those who may wish to add to their professional skills or knowledge.
The Fund prioritises applicants with a strong commitment to developing a new career or further developing their existing career centred in the highways and transport sector in the UK. Applications are welcome from students of any age and background, including applicants who are mid-career. Bursaries are available for both full and part time studies and are intended to cover course fees.

Find inspiration from a past MSc Bursary recipient: Seren Rayment was awarded a Rees Jeffreys Road Fund Bursary to study for an MSc in Transport and City Planning at University College London in 2024.
Seren refers to her MSc as “One of the most rewarding and transformative decisions of my academic and professional journey.” Seren goes on to say, “Through a combination of theoretical modules and practical, consultancy-style group projects, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of Transport Planning and solidified my aspiration to build a career in this field.”
“For anyone considering a career in transport planning, I would highly recommend undertaking a specialised degree in the field. It is an exciting, interdisciplinary, and impactful area of work that offers both intellectual challenge and the chance to make a meaningful contribution to the future of our cities and societies.”
