Master's scholarships for new students

If you achieve, or have already achieved, a first class honours degree and accept an offer on a Master's course with us, you could get £3,000 off your course tuition fee with our Master's Scholarship.

You can also use this scholarship discount alongside the Government Postgraduate Loan scheme.

Eligibility

See terms and conditions for full eligibility criteria and details on how to apply.

If you're a current Portsmouth student, or a recent Portsmouth graduate, see our Master's Scholarship for current students.

Two-year courses

If you're studying a full-time Master’s over two years you'll get the Scholarship in the first year only. If you're studying a part-time Master's over two years, you'll receive £1,500 in year one and £1,500 in year two. 

Availability

These Master's Scholarships are limited. So we can't guarantee you'll get it if you're eligible.

You'll need to meet the specific entry criteria for the course you applied for. We give priority to students who show the highest academic achievement.

The University's decision on the allocation of the Scholarship is in accordance with the terms and conditions and is final. There's no appeals process.

Alternative discounts and scholarships

You can only get one University of Portsmouth discount or scholarship. For example, this Master’s Scholarship, or the alumni discount – not both.

Make sure you read and understand the scholarship terms and conditions before you accept, as an alternative University discount or scholarship may be more suitable for you.
