Business and Law Postgraduate Alumni Scholarship

De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) is pleased to offer our dedicated Postgraduate Alumni Scholarship, providing DMU graduates with a tuition fee discount of up to 30 per cent on selected full-time and part-time postgraduate courses running across multiple start dates in the 2021/22 academic session, with the first intake in September 2021.

At DMU, we are fully committed to helping our graduates enhance their careers and gain opportunities for personal development through further study. The scholarship, based on academic achievement and merit, applies automatically to all DMU UK, EU and international students who are graduating in 2021 or have graduated within the last five years (2017 onwards). Students who achieved a 2:1 or above will receive a discount of 30 per cent, while all remaining students who are offered a place on a DMU course will be eligible for a discount of 20 per cent. This scholarship is also available to students progressing from postgraduate study through our transnational education partners to postgraduate study in the UK. The scholarship is applicable to a range of postgraduate taught programmes.
