Alumni Scholarship

We are pleased to offer University of Exeter alumni beginning a standalone postgraduate programme in 2026/27 with us a scholarship worth 20% of the cost of your first year tuition fees. 

Awards are available for students enrolling on most* standalone (campus-based or online) taught Masters degrees (e.g. MA, MSc, MRes, MFA, LLM, PGCert, PGDip) or research degrees (e.g. MPhil/PhD), and certain online credit-bearing short courses (micro credentials), in 2026/27. The PGCE programme is also eligible for this award. 

*Excluded programmes are: 

Online programmes/courses in the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences – MA Education (Online), MA Creative Writing (Online) and micro credentials; MiPDAL Dual Masters in Intellectual Property Law; Graduate Law LLB; and law programmes delivered by the University of Law.  

Progression within the same programme, such as between or from micro credentials, between or from a PGCert and a PGDip, to a Masters, or from MPhil to PhD is not eligible for an award under this scheme. (Progression from a standalone Masters to a standalone research degree is eligible.)
