Postgraduate Masters Scholarship for UK Students (NTU)

What you get

You get up to 50% off your tuition fees for a one-year masters degree at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) in the UK, starting September 2026 or January 2027. You do not get cash. The discount comes straight off your tuition bill, so your fees are lower when you enrol. If you study part time, the reduction is applied in stages at the start of each academic year. You can combine it with an NTU alumni discount, but the two together cannot cut your fees by more than 50%.

Who can apply

• Offer in hand: You already hold an offer for an eligible NTU masters course starting September 2026 or January 2027.
• New starter: You are enrolling in the first year. If you already study at NTU, you can only apply when you move onto a new postgraduate course.
• Fee status: You count as a "Home student", meaning you pay UK-level tuition fees, not international ones.
• Field of study: A wide range of MA, MSc, MRes, MFA, LLM and PGCE courses qualify, from engineering and business to art, law, science and education.
• No double funding: You cannot apply if an employer, the government or another funding body already pays all or part of your tuition.
• Not eligible: Distance-learning courses, apprenticeships, MBA/GEMBA/EMBA, the law professional courses (GDL, SQE, LPC, BTC), and exchange students.

How to apply

First secure your offer for an eligible course. Then submit the scholarship application through the online form on the programme page. Selection is based only on your written answers in the form, with no interview. You hear the result within five weeks of the deadline. Applications for September 2026 have closed, and the deadlines for January 2027 entry are still to be announced.

How realistic are your chances?

NTU calls this scheme highly competitive, and it is open to many Home students across many subjects, so the applicant pool is large. There is no interview, so your written answers on the form decide it. Meeting the basic criteria is not enough. Awards go to those who answer the form's questions best, so put real effort into it and apply by an earlier deadline before courses fill up.
