Owen, 26, from East Ham, London, received the scholarship based on his academic performance in his first year and plans to use the money to pay for recording software to continue to develop his skills.
The scholarship is part of an education partnership between the University, in Queen Alexandra Road, High Wycombe, and Sennheiser. which has its UK HQ in Marlow.
Five students with the highest first year grade profiles were shortlisted and interviewed by Phil Cummings, Sennheiser's marketing projects manager.
Owen, who attended Barking & Dagenham College of Further Education before working in retail for a number of years prior to starting his degree, said the scholarship would be 'a huge help' in his studies. "I will be using the money to help me learn my trade more as I move into my second and third years. The end goal for me in returning to education was to learn how to work in a recording studio and I'm building the skills to do that."
Owen also received a Neumann TLM103 large diaphragm condenser microphone and a pair of Sennheiser HD380 as part of his prize.
The other students shortlisted - Jack Agate; Kamil Grunwald; Elliot Lampitt; and Josh Lauder - also received Sennheiser equipment.
Phil Cummings said, "Owen made a great impression in his interview but all of the candidates came across very well and were a credit to the university.
"Sennheiser has a commitment to helping develop the future of audio music production and the scholarship is another example of our proud association with Bucks New University."
