To apply for the 2026 Impulse Programme (28 April to 10 July) please complete and submit our application form. 

Application process

Impulse 2026 applications open on 10 Nov 2025 and the first round of applications will close on 2 Feb 2026.

For the best chance to be matched with an available Fellowship, we would strongly recommend making your application in the first round. Second round applications will close on 2 Mar 2026.

After you have applied, you will be contacted for an interview with the Impulse team. Once your interview has taken place, the Impulse team will write to let you know if you have been admitted, and whether you have been successfully matched with an available Fellowship to cover your course fees.

Programme fees

We make every effort to match our applicants to an available Fellowship to cover all or part of the programme fees. However, please note that some Fellowship Partners have preferred projects/ideas in specific industries that align with their missions. If we are unable to match your application to an available Fellowship, and you chose to self-fund or pay the programme fees through an external sponsor/department/university, please note that the 2026 fees are as follows:

Payment and Cancellation Policy

If you or your external sponsor is paying for the programme fees, please note that payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. Cancellations or deferrals must be submitted in writing to the impulse team. If a participant cancels their place after acceptance, please note that the following cancellation charges will apply:

• 6 - 8 weeks: 35%
• 4 - 6 weeks: 70%
• 4 weeks or less:100%

If a participant does not attend the programme, the full programme fee will be retained as a cancellation charge. Any proposed substitution of participants requires a new application to be submitted.
