Taking the MRS Advanced Certificate?  Need support with the fees?  Maybe MRBA Skills can help.

MRBA Skills supports UK market and social researchers that are eager to develop their skills and enhance their careers.  They have up to 20 annual bursaries available to help pay the cost of this qualification.

Visit MRBA Skills for more information or email skills@mrba.org.uk and one of their team will get back to you and explain the eligibility criteria. 

Joining &more is free to young professionals working in research, insight and analytics under the age of 30 (or within the first years of their research career.)

Already a paying MRS member? Then you get absolutely everything in &more for free on top of your usual membership benefits package.

&more has replaced the R-Net group. If you were an R-Net member, and still meet the criteria, you have been automatically transferred over to the new scheme.
