Terms and conditions

  • Scholarships are available for selected postgraduate taught master’s courses running in the 2023/24 academic session. Course exclusions apply; please check with the faculty that your chosen course is eligible.
  • This scholarship is not available for undergraduate and postgraduate research courses.
  • The scholarship will act as a tuition fee discount to be applied at the point of enrolment.
  • Applicants do not need to apply for the Leicester Postgraduate Partnership offer, the award will automatically be confirmed for eligible students
  • Maximum scholarship duration: in recognition of the fact that tuition fee payment is/may be spread over a number of academic years, the percentage discount offered at enrolment for postgraduate taught degree programmes will remain constant for a maximum of:  
      • One year for a full-time MA or MSc, or three years part-time (180 credits)
      • One year for a full-time PG Dip, or two years part-time (120 credits)
      • One year for a full-time or part-time PG Cert (60 credits)
  • The scholarship is valid for all intakes within the 2023/24 academic session – scholarships cannot be deferred by the applicant until a subsequent academic year, unless their course offer has been deferred to an alternative year of entry.
  • Applicants must have previously studied and successfully completed a degree at either the University of Leicester or its overseas campuses.
  • Applicants who have already completed a postgraduate course with DMU or the University of Leicester will not be eligible for the discount.
  • Students in receipt of the scholarship will not be eligible for any other DMU or University of Leicester scholarship or award.
  • No cash alternatives will be offered and the scholarship cannot be transferred to a nominated recipient.
  • Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the university.
  • Scholarships are only available to students paying all their own fees (partially sponsored students will not be eligible). Students in receipt of the postgraduate master’s loans will still be eligible.
  • Where a student terminates or interrupts their studies, prior to the completion of their postgraduate taught course, both the tuition fees and scholarship will be pro-rated, based on the student’s last date of attendance.
  • Interrupting students are entitled to pick up the remainder of the scholarship on their return to study (in line with the maximum scholarship duration as outlined above).
  • Scholarships will be honoured for course transfers within DMU (providing the transfer is to an eligible course).
  • For students eligible for more than one award at DMU will automatically be awarded the one of greater financial value.
  • For students who actively apply for and are successfully awarded another scholarship, e.g. the DMU Sports Scholarship, that award will supersede the entitlement to any automatically awarded scholarship.
  • DMU reserves the right to cancel any scholarship which has been claimed fraudulently and to apply the full tuition fee.
  • DMU reserves the right to revise, review or withdraw any of the scholarships at any time without prior notice.
