Terms and conditions


  • Scholarships are available for full-time, part-time and distance learning postgraduate taught master’s courses running in the 2024/25 academic session. Course exclusions apply; please check with the faculty that your chosen course is eligible if it is not listed.
  • Undergraduate and Postgraduate Research courses are not available with this scholarship.
  • 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 Postgraduate Alumni Scholarship, the award will automatically be confirmed for eligible students.
  • Maximum scholarship duration: in recognition of the fact that tuition fee payment is 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)
    • Two years full-time for Architecture MArch
  • The scholarship is valid for all intakes within the 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. The exception is for students wishing to take a sabbatical year and act as an elected Executive Officer at De Montfort Students’ Union - in such circumstances a one-year extension will be considered.
  • Applicants must have previously studied and successfully completed a degree at the DMU Leicester campus or through a transnational education partner.
  • Applicants who have already completed a postgraduate course with DMU will not be eligible for the discount .
  • Applicants must have no outstanding debt to the university in order to receive the scholarship.
  • Students in receipt of the scholarship will not be eligible for any other DMU 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 student loans will still be eligible.
  • Where a student terminates or interrupts their studies, prior to the completion of their 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 they 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.
