Hertfordshire Graduate Scholarship
Overview / About the Scholarship
The Herts Graduate Scholarship is designed to strengthen the lifelong connection between the University of Hertfordshire and its global alumni community. Recognizing that many students wish to deepen their expertise after completing their undergraduate studies, the university offers a substantial 20% fee reduction to make postgraduate education more accessible to its own graduates.
This award is not a competitive scholarship but an earned entitlement for any international student who has successfully completed a full-time undergraduate degree at the University of Hertfordshire. It applies to a wide range of Master's programs, from Business and Computer Science to Creative Arts and Engineering. Because the award is a percentage-based discount, the more specialized and premium the course, the higher the actual financial savings for the student. For those working with NWC Education, this scholarship is a primary tool for progression students who already know and love the Hatfield campuses and want to continue their journey toward becoming industry leaders without the heavy financial burden of full international fees.
