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.
The Scholarship took the pressure off having to find part-time work around my studies, which meant I could devote as much time as I could to complete my Master's.
