UH Graduate Scholarship
In recognition of the importance of our alumni community to the University we offer a Graduate Scholarship for undergraduate students wishing to return and study at postgraduate level.
The Graduate Scholarship is available to students who have graduated from a University of Hertfordshire undergraduate degree and are starting a new postgraduate taught course at the University.
The value of the scholarship is a 20% reduction on the tuition fee.
NB there are courses exempt from the scholarship; please enquire at the Student Centre for further details.
Terms and conditions
The University of Hertfordshire Graduate Scholarship is available to self-funded University of Hertfordshire graduates* (UK/EU and overseas) for their first full year of full-time or all years of part-time (UK/EU only) postgraduate study at the University.
The scholarship will take the form of a 20% reduction on the full postgraduate tuition fee for full-time and part-time students (international students on a tier 4 student visa are only allowed to study full-time). The Graduate Scholarship is available for a range of postgraduate taught programmes offered by the University.
These include Masters awards, those at Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma level (but excluding the Postgraduate Certificate in Education, Certificate in Professional Studies, some vocational or professional practice certificates and short courses).
The Graduate Scholarship is NOT available for research awards or higher doctorates. A scholarship may be awarded to a University of Hertfordshire undergraduate for the first postgraduate programme of study undertaken only.
Eligibility Criteria
Graduates are eligible for the Graduate Scholarship if they graduate from a University of Hertfordshire degree course and progress onto a new postgraduate course at the University. They are also eligible if they graduate from a University of Hertfordshire degree course taught at an institution overseas and progress onto a new postgraduate course at the University.
Graduates must:
a) have been offered and accepted a place on a full-time or part-time (UK/EU only) award-bearing University of Hertfordshire postgraduate programme
and
b) be paying the full cost of the tuition fee from their own resources (including a Career Development Loan) direct to the University of Hertfordshire, and not sponsored for any part of the fee by an organisation such as an employer, charitable body or government department. (Any contribution by an external organisation to the student's living costs, or a contribution from the student's family to the fee or living costs, does not count as sponsorship under this scheme.)
Value of the Graduate Scholarship
The value of the Graduate Scholarship will be a fee deduction equivalent to 20% of the tuition fee due for the first year of full-time postgraduate study and (for UK/EU students only) 20% of the fee due for all years of part-time postgraduate study.
NB there are courses exempt from the scholarship; please enquire at the Student Centre for further details.
