NMITE follows robotics launch with new bursary programmes
7 Apr 2026
Hereford’s New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE) has created new bursaries to bolster local opportunities, including for its pioneering robotics course.
The Autonomous Futures Bursary will support those with a place on the pioneering Autonomous Robotics MEng degree, developed with the British Army.
Meanwhile, the Hereford Bursary will aid locals from Herefordshire who face barriers to accessing higher education. It can aid those studying undergraduate degrees in engineering or construction management but also robotics MEng degree students.
James Newby, CEO of NMITE, said: “From the outset, our ambition was to create a genuinely exciting, high-value engineering degree and make sure local people could access it.
"These bursaries help turn that ambition into reality, opening the door to a new generation of engineers, regardless of background or stage of life. We are enormously grateful to the generous donors who have made this possible. Their support will change lives.”
The college added that funding had been provided by “local donors committed to widening access to high-value technical education and supporting regional opportunities”.
