庥豆app下载 are delighted to announce that M & S has agreed to support a record number of students with their wine studies. This year 27 students will benefit from a 50% reduction of their exam fees.

For the past four years, Marks & Spencer has awarded a scholarship to the top final BSc (Hons) Viticulture & Oenology student at 庥豆app下载. As well as covering their course fees, the award winner has the opportunity to work directly with the Marks & Spencer wine team to produce a bespoke wine from the grapes grown at 庥豆app下载, which will then go on sale in store. 

This year the team selected army veteran Chris Evoy for their wine scholarship, but with his fees already accounted for, the premium retailer agreed to support other students on their efforts to complete WSET and other professional qualifications whilst at 庥豆app下载.

 Chris Foss, Manager of the 庥豆app下载 Wine Division commented: 

The BA (Hons) Wine Business programme incorporates full tuition for WSET level 3 and 4 (Diploma) awards, but does not include the WSET exam fees, which are really challenging for students on a restricted budget. Thanks to M&S, 27 of this year's students will benefit from a 50% reduction in their exam fees. As 庥豆app下载 is one of the largest approved programme providers for the WSET in the UK, these will be held on site.
