We are pleased to introduce a postgraduate scholarship offer for 2026 that covers both years of our two-year Master’s including MArch Architecture, MSc Social Work and MSc Nursing.
For example, a self-funded student who is taking the 2-year March Architecture will receive the £3,500 international achievement scholarship for each year of study. This would equal £7,000 total discount across the 2 years. Similarly, a student studying the same course who is eligible for a regional scholarship will receive £4,000 scholarship per year of study, equalling £8,000 across 2 years.
Please refer to the individual scholarship offerings to see which scholarship you are eligible for across the 2 years.
We are excited to introduce a new £500 Early Payment Discount to all self-funded international students. Eligible self-funded students who pay their fees by the required deadlines will get a discount which will be automatically deducted from the 1st year of tuition fees.
The early bird discount will be available to all students who pay their deposit by the required deadlines:
- September Postgraduate Courses 2026: 10 July 2026
- September Nursing Postgraduate Courses 2026: 30 June 2026
- September Postgraduate Sport Courses 2026: 30 April 2026
- September Postgraduate Clinical Embryology 2026: 30 June 2026
- January 2027 postgraduate: 27 November 2026
The Early Bird Tuition Fee Discount has been increased for students holding offers for September 2026 entry to the following postgraduate taught programmes:
Eligible students for these courses could now receive a £1,500 Early Bird Discount from their tuition fees – an increase of £1,000 from the standard amount. To qualify, students must pay their £5,000 deposit by the 10 July 2026.
Please note:
The updated Early Bird Discount amount will only be reflected in the offer letters issued to eligible applicants for the specified courses. The standard Early Bird Discount of £500 will still apply for all other courses.
How much discount students will get overall
The Early Bird Discount is in addition to any other internal scholarships given.
For example, if a student who is studying a postgraduate programme in Law and is eligible for a regional scholarship, they could receive the Early Bird Payment Discount plus the Regional Scholarship. Please see an example breakdown below:
Early Payment Discount = £1,500
Regional Scholarship = £4,000
Total Discount = £5,500
This amount will then be deducted from their tuition fees. For example, a student studying a classroom-based programme whose tuition fee is £17,750 will only pay £12,250.
Tuition Fee minus discount: £17,750 - £5,500 = £12,250
