University of Hertfordshire Graduate Scholarship

The University of Hertfordshire Graduate Scholarship is a non-repayable award that offers a 20% reduction in tuition fees to returning students. It is available to both domestic and international graduates of the university who are self-funding their postgraduate education. The scholarship aims to foster a lifelong learning community within the "Herts" alumni network.

Financial Award: A 20% discount on the total tuition fee for the first full year of a full-time course or all years of a part-time course (for UK/EU students).

Average Value in USD: Based on current international tuition rates ($21,000–$26,000 approx.), this scholarship can save students between $4,200 and $5,200 per year.

Automatic Application: No separate application form is required; the discount is applied directly to your student account upon registration.

To qualify for this scholarship, applicants must:

• Have graduated from a University of Hertfordshire undergraduate degree (studied in the UK or at an overseas partner institution).
• Be starting a new Postgraduate Taught course (Master's, PG Diploma) or a Research Degree (PhD).
• Be self-funded, meaning you are paying the full cost of the tuition from your own resources and are not sponsored by an external organization or the university for other parts of the fee.
• International students must be studying full-time at the UK campus.
• Must not be receiving any other university-led scholarship or discount 

Levels: Postgraduate Taught (MA, MSc, LLM, MBA) and Research Degrees (PhD, MRes).

Fields: Open to all disciplines offered at the university, including Business, Engineering, Creative Arts, Humanities, and Life Sciences.

Exclusions: This scholarship generally does not apply to PGCE (Education), some vocational certificates, or the MSc Nursing (Adult/Child) funded via undergraduate SFE loans.

Academic Transcripts: Front and back copies of your Herts undergraduate degree.

Personal Statement: Explaining your reasons for pursuing further study and career goals.

References: Usually two signed academic references on headed paper.

Passport Photo Page: To confirm your identity and residency status.

Evidence of English Proficiency: (If applicable) Usually a valid IELTS, TOEFL, or Pearson PTE score if your previous degree does not waive this requirement.
