Postgraduate Scholarships

Every year, we provide merit-based scholarships recognising the talents of our international students.  These scholarships are discounted against the cost of your tuition fees.

  • £1,500 if a Second Class (Upper Division) or 2:1 degree holder
  • £1,000 if a Second Class (Lower Division) or 2:2 degree holder

  • MSc Accounting & Finance (Top-Up)
