Postgraduate fees can vary from course to course, and thinking about finances can often feel overwhelming. Here’s all the information you need, including government-backed funding options and how the University can support you further.
Alumni discount
The Alumni Discount is a 20% tuition fee reduction available to all Worcester graduates enrolling onto an eligible Master’s or PhD course at the University. You can learn more about the discount by visiting the University’s Course Fees page.
Postgraduate loans
For those of you interested in completing a PGCE, postgraduate funding works slightly differently. Instead, you’ll apply for your loan via the undergraduate Student Finance portal. Learn more here.
Postgraduate Master’s Loans help cover tuition fees and living costs while you study. Unlike undergraduate Maintenance Loans, the amount of funding you’re entitled to is not based on your income, or your family’s income.
Entitlement figures are reviewed annually and are subject to change, so for the most current information I’d recommend checking out the Master’s Loan pages on the gov.uk website.
Doctoral loans
As with Master’s Loans, eligible PhD students can apply for funding via the gov.uk website. Again, this funding is not based on household income.
Access to learning fund
The Access to Learning Fund is Worcester’s hardship fund. It is a non-repayable grant administered by the University to help both undergraduate and postgraduate students who are experiencing financial difficulty.
