Scholarships and Student Funding

Graduate Scholarship Scheme

This Scholarship applies to both home and overseas students, and applies to the self-funding element of the postgraduate degree tuition fee.

The self-funding element of tuition fee: This is the part which you are personally paying yourself and does not cover the element of tuition fee which is covered by another scholarship, funding body, your employer, a company, or any another source of funding.

Please note that for students in receipt of a postgraduate tuition fee loan from Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) or Student Finance Northern Ireland, this fee loan will be paid to the University directly but will be considered as a self-funding element.  

Please contact the Fees and Student Support team once you have received your SAAS/SFNI award letter to ensure that the full Graduate Scholarship has been applied to your fee record.

The Graduate Scholarship applies only to the tuition fee element and does not apply to any additional costs such as additional programme costs or research costs.

Applying
