We are delighted to announce 100 Postgraduate Support Scholarships to support eligible UK students from low and middle income backgrounds who apply for postgraduate study starting in September 2025.

Our Postgraduate Support Scholarships are available for study across most of our taught master’s and MRes programmes with only a few exceptions*.

For taught master’s you can apply for £3,000 and for MRes programmes, you can apply for £2,000 in addition to our Alumni Fee Scholarship.

Alumni Fee Scholarships

If you hold a bachelor's or higher degree with us, you will automatically be eligible for our alumni discount alongside the Postgraduate Support Scholarship.

*Exceptions: postgraduate diplomas, postgraduate certificates, integrated masters and courses funded by other public bodies (e.g. PGCE).
