For undergraduate students completing their degree in the academic year 2019/20 and progressing to enrol on a postgraduate degree (taught or research) in the 2020/21 academic year, Kingston University is offering its graduates (home, EU and international) a scholarship entitling them to a 15% reduction to the tuition fees for their postgraduate programme.
This Scholarship is inclusive of any alumni or loyalty discounts that may offered by Kingston University, including faculty, department or school discounts that may be available and may not be combined with any other such scholarship or discount.
The scholarship can be combined with a Student Loans Company Postgraduate Loan for those students who meet the eligibility criteria for both.
There is no guarantee that the 15% progression discount will be available for students enrolling for postgraduate programmes in subsequent years.
Qualifying postgraduate programmes
The scholarship will be available to students who enrol either full-time or part-time on a postgraduate course which is classified as either a taught or research degree including MRes and MPhil or PhD*.
*PhD students will qualify for the 15% Progression Scholarship on their first year's fees when enrolling in 2020/21; the standard alumni discount of 10% may be claimed for each subsequent year of study in enrolment.
Part-time students
The 15% Scholarship will be applied to part-time students on a pro-rata basis.
Payment by instalments
Where fees are paid by instalments, the 15% Scholarship will be deducted from the final instalment payable by the student.
Students will be eligible, if at the time of applying, they have attained a qualifying bachelor's degree in 2019/20 which has been awarded by Kingston University – or St. George's University of London as part of a programme undertaken within the Joint Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education – and they meet the entry criteria for the postgraduate course* at Kingston University commencing in the academic year 2020/21.
Architecture students completing the architecture bachelor's degree who progress to a year out in industry before then commencing the MArch Architecture will still be eligible for the 15% discount.
Students who have completed a Kingston University degree at a partner institution will qualify for the discount provided the degree awarded was a Kingston University bachelor's degree and was completed in 2019/20.
Eligibility exceptions
We regret that the 15% fee reduction scholarship will not apply to the following postgraduate programs as fee payment and/or student numbers are part of a contract with third parties:
At Kingston University we take great pride in the difference we make to the lives of our 20,000 students and the wider community we serve. We are constantly striving to provide excellent services and to continue to make a positive contribution to the economic, social and cultural life of the borough.
Over the last 10 years we have achieved a lot by investing in our estate and over the next 10 years we hope to continue to improve and transform our campuses by providing an even better teaching and learning experience, and upgraded facilities for students, staff and the local community.
Working with RIBA award winning and Stirling Prize nominated, Grafton Architects, Kingston University obtained permission for its new landmark teaching building, replacing an outdated, temporary building with one of high quality design that offers a vibrant new face to the University and a welcoming gateway to Kingston upon Thames.
The new landmark building will transform the learning experience and bring together the University and the local community. Facilities will include a learning resources centre, a covered courtyard, cafes and a welcoming and attractive new landscaping scheme across the front of the campus.
