Funding your studies

Man using a cash machine

At the University of Bedfordshire, we try to make financing your studies as simple and affordable as possible, by offering generous bursaries, excellent scholarships and lots of support. Check out the information below for details of the different awards available.

Jubilee scholarship launch

The University recently launched a new scholarship aimed exclusively at our own 3rd year undergraduates planning to progress to postgraduate study at the University this autumn.

The Jubilee Scholarship offers a full fee waiver, worth £9,000, on most postgraduate courses* at Bedfordshire for any home or EU student who achieves a First at undergraduate level and goes on to start a full-time Master’s course in the 2012-13 academic year. Applicants must be enrolling on a full-time course of study commencing in September 2012.

*The Jubilee Scholarship does not apply to the Master of Business Administration or PGCE courses at Bedfordshire.

UK/EU PG Scholarship 2012

Postgraduate study at the University of Bedfordshire is not as expensive as you may think - there is now a 50% tuition fee discount available on selected courses, providing you pay your fees upfront  - that's a massive saving of £4,500.

This scholarship worth £4,500, is available for all full-time UK/EU Master's students who are self-funding their postgraduate course.

50% discount on Postgraduate fees

Those eligible to receive this Scholarship include:

  • All UK/EU students who are studying a full-time postgraduate Master's (except MBA and PGCE courses), where full cost fees of £9,000 or pro rata of £9,000 are being charged
  • All UK/EU students who are studying any other postgraduate course including part-time where full cost fees of £9,000 or pro rata of £9,000 are being charged
  • There is no 50% benefit at this time if courses are bought on a unit by unit basis, only for award bearing full courses
  • The student must pay in full before or at registration.

To find out more about these scholarships and other types of financial support available please visit the funding section.

Bursaries

Tax-free bursaries of up to £9,000* are available for UK and EU students undertaking a PGCE course. Visit the Graduate Teacher Training Registry website for more information.

Postgraduate fees

Full-time students

Tuition fees for postgraduate study can vary quite considerably between institutions. The fees are also dependent on the type of course you are studying on. If you are starting a full-time postgraduate course in 2012, the fees at Bedfordshire range from £9,000 per year to £13,500 per year. See how much your course will cost

Part-time students

Students who are thinking of studying a postgraduate degree part-time in 2012 are charged a proportion of the full-time fee. For example, a student taking half the study that a full-time student takes would be charged half of the full-time fee.
