UK / EU undergraduate students

Scholarships and bursaries

• A £6,000 Scholarship is available to undergraduate students entering in 2013-14 with grades at ABB+ or recognised equivalents, at a rate of £2,000 per year. Please note, this is not available to BA Primary Education students* and is subject to terms and conditions. 
• A £3,000 Bursary for male BA Primary Education students, starting their studies in September 2013, who are in receipt of a full maintenance grant. The bursary will be paid to the student at a rate of £1,000 a year, at the start of each academic year on successful re-enrolment.
• National Scholarship Programme (UK students only) is available to 166 students who are in receipt of a full maintenance grant and who achieve the best UCAS tariff scores for their entry year. A £1,000 cash bursary will be given to recipients during their studies with the remainder of the award allocated as tuition fee waivers. The cash bursary will be made up of £300 in years one and two of their studies and £400 in their final year. Tuition fee waivers will be £2,700 in year one, £1,200 in year two and £1,100 in year three.

*Regrettably the University of Roehampton is unable to offer these scholarships to Primary Education students as places for this programme are allocated by the Teaching Agency. This scholarship is part of the flexible student numbers programme for ABB+ students. However, the University of Roehampton is participating in a government initiative to encourage males into careers in teaching, for which the University is in receipt of specific funding and thus can offer the advertised bursaries for male students. Primary Education students are eligible for the NSP.

Postgraduate Students

Alumni Discount: 20% tuition fee reduction

For UK/EU students who have successfully completed a programme of study at Roehampton, a 20% tuition fee reduction will be given for those who wish to undertake further studies at a postgraduate level (any level higher than previously studied).

The discount will be made in the first year of study. It can be combined with some sports and academic scholarships.
