Employer - Employer Sponsorship

What you get

Your employer pays part or all of your tuition fees towards a postgraduate programme at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol). Depending on the agreement, they may also grant you paid leave to study and cover other study-related costs. There is no fixed amount. The amount depends entirely on what you and your employer agree. This is not a competitive scholarship, but a payment option offered by UWE to enable a sponsor to pay your fees directly.

Who can apply

• Level: You are a PhD student at UWE Bristol.
• Sponsor: An employer or a public authority has agreed to cover all or part of your fees. A family member does not count towards this.
• Course fit: As a general rule, your degree must be directly related to your profession.
• Field of study: All subjects.
• Nationality: All nationalities can apply.

How to apply

Your sponsor must complete the UWE online form for sponsors, and you must provide the sponsor’s details when you enrol. You will need a new form for each academic year. Once UWE has received the form, an invoice will be issued to the sponsor, who must pay the fees in full within 30 days.
