Our alumni discount applies to taught postgraduate studies only and is available to all home students and alumni at the University.
We’re passionate about research and making a difference to the world we live in. To help us make this difference, we seek the very best Huddersfield graduates to participate in our Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship Scheme, which gives those selected access to a full tuition fee waiver on their research degree.
Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSAs) |
You can apply for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) to cover some of the extra costs you have because of a mental health problem, long term illness or any other disability. You can get the allowances on top of your other student finance and you won’t need to repay DSAs. More information on Disabled Students' Allowance (DSAs) can be found here |
Employer Sponsorship |
Your employer may be willing to sponsor you if your course is relevant to your job. If your employer agree to pay your Tuition Fees they can email confirmation of this to sfo@hud.ac.uk before you enrol, and we can ensure they are invoiced for your fees. |
Research Councils |
Research Council studentships are open to both Masters and PhD students, although it's PhD applicants who receive the majority of the funding. Every year, Doctorate research is granted roughly £380million from Research Councils. Your university department will be able to tell you whether your course is eligible for funding, as well as offer you advice for submitting a high-standard application. |
Charities and Trust Funds |
Charitable funding and Trust Funds can sometimes help with support for Postgraduate study. This funding tends to be limited and may not be able to cover the full cost of your study. You can find out more from these publications:

PGCE and PGDipE courses |
PGCE courses provide funding on the same basis as undergraduate courses (Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan). In addition to this, you may be entitled to support in the form of a tax free teacher training bursary. More information on PGCE and PGDipE courses can be found here |
Social Work bursary |
Social Work bursaries are non-repayable, and can be used to help with the cost of Tuition Fees and living costs. Please note – they are limited (or capped) so there’s only a certain number available each year and being in receipt of a Social Work bursary would normally mean you are not eligible to receive a Postgraduate Loan. |
