Eligibility: Please see details of eligibility below

We offer all Â鶹¸ßÇå University alumni who are UK/EU citizens a 20% fee reduction on postgraduate courses. International alumni can benefit from 20% off their masters fees if they are not in receipt of any regional awards. Alumni from our Academic Partner Institutions are entitled to a 10% reduction in fees.

This offer applies to all alumni with a Â鶹¸ßÇå undergraduate degree and/or postgraduate taught degree including those who studied with a collaborative partner (subject to eligibility). The award can also be applied twice to the same individual i.e. once for a PGT (postgraduate taught/masters) degree and then for a PGR (postgraduate research/PhD) as long as the individual has completed the PGT degree. There is no separate application process for your alumni award - simply highlight that you are an alumni when applying for your course to ensure the award is applied.

The Alumni Postgraduate Award is only applicable if you are self-financing, that is paying the fees yourself or through a company you own. Where courses are part sponsored such as the MA Social Work, The Alumni Postgraduate Award will only apply to the fee contribution paid by you. For International alumni who apply through our regional offices, The Alumni Postgraduate Award cannot be held in addition in any regional awards.

Please note the Alumni Postgraduate Award is only valid for courses where the future study is undertaken at Â鶹¸ßÇå University, London. International campus alumni discounts may vary, please check their websites for details. It is not applicable to Â鶹¸ßÇå courses run at our academic partner institutions.

There are some instances when the alumni award will NOT be applicable:

• Continuation from PGCert/PGDip to masters courses
• Introductory courses run through the MDX Summer School as pathways into postgraduate degrees
• PGCE and integrated masters courses, as these attract other types of funding
• Students in receipt of any other discount or bursary, including international merits/regional awards and other fee waivers
• Top-up courses
• Â鶹¸ßÇå at our validated partner institutions

Eligibility

Students who have already been awarded a Â鶹¸ßÇå degree and are returning to complete a second programme of study who are self-financing, that is those paying the fees themselves or through a company they own. If students are in receipt of any other type of discount (including regional awards), they are not eligible for an alumni tuition fee discount. Â鶹¸ßÇå University students (UK and International students) who have successfully completed an Undergraduate direct-entry into years 2 or 3 (Top-ups), and graduates from validated and franchise institutions would receive a 20% discount. Again this is dependent on them not being in receipt of any other regional award or Scholarship. This award is not applicable to students being sponsored by an organisation or business.

The University offers all Alumni a 20% fee reduction on postgraduate courses and postgraduate research degree study. This scheme is open to UK, EU and International students studying full time or part time postgraduate studies. There is no separate application process for the Alumni Postgraduate Award. Students are advised when applying for a course, to highlight that they are an Alumni during the admissions process to ensure the award is applied. This award is only valid at Â鶹¸ßÇå University London. Alumni applying to International Â鶹¸ßÇå are advised to check their websites for details. For the avoidance of doubt, an Alumni award is not applicable where a student is moving from a foundation course to an Undergraduate degree or to a PGCE course.

Students who are undertaking a Continuing Professional Qualification (CPD) at Â鶹¸ßÇå University, or are completing a single module of study under a CPD qualification will not be entitled to the alumni discount.
