Super Early Bird Scholarship

The Super Early Bird Scholarship is a flagship incentive offered by the University of Hertfordshire to encourage international students to secure their places early. For the September 2026 intake, the university has set a substantial £3,500 award, making it one of the most generous early payment awards in the UK.

This scholarship is purely time-dependent rather than merit-based, meaning it is accessible to any international student who meets the basic entry requirements and acts quickly. Because no separate application is required, it removes the stress of competitive essay writing or interviews. The primary requirement is payment of a £5,000 deposit, which must be received and cleared in the university’s bank account by April 30, 2026. This award is a one-off discount applied to the first year of tuition fees and is not renewable. For students applying through NWC Education, this scholarship provides a guaranteed way to significantly reduce the cost of their UK Master's degree by planning their finances in advance.

• Guaranteed Funding: Not a competitive award; if you meet the deadline and criteria, you receive the money.
• Significant Savings: A direct £3,500 deduction from your total tuition fee balance.
• Simplified Process: No scholarship application forms, videos, or extra personal statements are needed.
• Combination Potential: Can be combined with the Full Payment Discount (£500) if the remaining balance is paid by early October, for a total of £4,000 in savings.

To be eligible, a candidate must:

• Be classified as an Overseas fee payer.
• Be a first-time entrant to the University of Hertfordshire on the UK campus.
• Be enrolled in a full-time award-bearing postgraduate taught program.
• Be fully self-funded (paying fees directly to the university).
• Payment Requirement: Pay a minimum £5,000 tuition fee deposit by April 30, 2026.
• Note: This award typically cannot be combined with the Chancellor's International Scholarship or the Herts Graduate Discount.

• Level: Postgraduate Taught (Master's level).
• Field of Study: Available across all faculties, including Business, Computer Science, Engineering, Law, and Creative Arts.
• Exclusions: Not available for Research degrees (PhD), online courses, or the MBBS (Medicine) program.

The University of Hertfordshire is a leading modern university located in Hatfield, just 20 minutes from London.

• Campus Life: It features two vibrant campuses, College Lane and de Havilland, offering a mix of state-of-the-art facilities and green spaces.
• Career-Driven: The university is known for its "business-facing" approach, ensuring that courses are designed to meet the needs of global employers.
• Innovation: Home to world-class facilities, including a pioneering Science Building and a high-tech Law Court Building.

As an automatic award, no additional scholarship documents are required. You only need your standard admission documents:

• Academic Transcripts & Certificates.
• English Language Proof (IELTS/PTE).
• Personal Statement (for course entry).
• Passport Copy.
• Proof of Deposit Payment: Bank transfer receipt showing the £5,000 payment.
