3.6 The International Bursary cannot be combined with any other University scholarship, bursary, discount, or award, with the exception of the 2% prompt payment discount. Any eligible discount will be deducted from the remaining tuition fee upon enrolment.

3.7 If an applicant is eligible for more than one scholarship or discount, they will be awarded the one which is the most financially beneficial across the full course duration.

3.8 Fee reductions are made for the January 2024/25 academic year only and cannot be deferred to later months or years of entry. Applicants who intend to defer their studies from January 2025 to September 2025 will lose any fee reduction they have been made.

4. Conditions of fee discount

4.1 Applicants will be responsible for paying the remainder of their tuition fees after the fee reduction has been applied.

4.2 The tuition fee for the first year of study will be reduced £2,000.

4.3 Conditions of fee waiver: The fee waiver will only be made providing the student is fully enrolled at the University on a postgraduate taught programme.

4.4 The award does not replace the deposit of £5,000. All applicants will need to pay the £5,000 deposit for their course in order to formally receive the award.

4.5 The fee reduction will only be applied providing the student is fully enrolled at the University on a full time postgraduate taught programme of study which includes having had their qualifications and other documentation verified and checked, and then completing the University enrolment procedures. This includes holding the correct visa to study.

4.6 Applicants who have already paid the full course fees can visit the Student Centre to request a refund of any overpayment; once they have met all conditions of their offer and enrolled onto their course.

5. Withdrawal of the discount

5.1 Misleading information: The University reserves the right to withdraw the fee reduction from anyone who is found to have misled the University about any aspect of their eligibility and to seek repayment of any monies already paid by appropriate means.

5.2 Mode of Attendance Change: If a student changes to different mode of study, their eligibility for the award will be reviewed. The fee reduction will be withdrawn if the change is from full time to part time or distance learning.

5.3 Abeyance/Temporary Withdrawal: The International Bursary is awarded as a one-time £2,000 tuition fee reduction applied only in the first year of study, students who receive the bursary then take a temporary withdrawal (abeyance) are typically exempt from repaying the fee reduction.

5.4 Repeat/Extended Study: Periods of temporary withdrawal that result in repeat or extended periods of study are not supported by additional fee reductions.

5.5 Withdrawal from Study: A student who withdraws from their programme prior to completion and who is in receipt of a fee reduction will not normally be requested to repay reduction payments made up to the point of withdrawal.

5.6 Fee Waiver Amendments: Fee reductions are applied at the start of the academic year as part/all of an award entitlement and will not normally be amended once the fee waiver has been processed. Any tuition fee liability remaining after fee waivers are applied would therefore be calculated in accordance with the Student Financial Policy. In the case of withdrawal or abeyance the tuition fee and the fee waiver are calculated in accordance with the Student Financial Policy.

5.7 Sponsored students: Students who have Government sponsorship, NHS Bursary funding, employer sponsorship or any other external sponsorship for part or all of the tuition fees are not eligible for this Award. If Admissions receive details of sponsorship after an International Bursary has been awarded, the Award will be removed.
