Lloyd's University
Bursary Programme
About the bursary
Lloyd’s of London Foundation runs a university bursary scheme to encourage students from London to apply and go to university outside of the capital. Studying at university outside of London widens your university choices and gives you the chance to become more independent, ambitious and experience new challenges that push you outside of your comfort zone. It also helps you develop, preparing you for successful future careers.
Successful students will be awarded an annual bursary for three years to assist with living expenses at university for their undergraduate degree.
As part of the Lloyd’s University Bursary Programme, you will also be offered a range of exciting opportunities to develop your employability skills such as mentoring and work-placement opportunities.
Applications for the 2026 bursary scheme will open in Spring 2026.
Qualification criteria and the application process will be published on this page.
About Lloyd's and the career opportunities
First things first: we’re not an insurance company. Nor are we connected with any bank. Lloyd’s is actually a market where risks that need to be covered are put to insurers who can provide protection, ensuring that social and economic progress can continue across the globe. And as a Corporation, we enable that protection; managing the space and overseeing all aspects of the business. Established in a coffee house in the 17th Century, the Lloyd's market is now a world-renowned space where companies arrange specialist insurance for customers with complicated or unusual risks.
The Lloyd’s market insures things from driverless cars, spaceships, countries, insurance companies, fine art, cyber and anything that is complex to insure! Opportunities to work at Lloyd’s and within the Lloyd’s market include being a broker, underwriter, actuary, working in claims, risk management, innovation and research, market intelligence as well as functions like HR, Procurement, Marketing, IT, Finance. Most of the business written at Lloyd’s is still conducted face-to-face in the world-famous Underwriting Room at our London Lime Street headquarters.
