Duration

For students who commenced their studies during or after academic year 2018-19 on a postgraduate course, they will continue to be eligible for the existing fee discount they received in previous years.

For alumni who commence a new postgraduate research programme, including MRes, they will be eligible for a 10% fee discount in academic year 2024-25 (and for subsequent years of their course).

The Scholarship is available only for students commencing their programme in 2024-25. While most postgraduate taught programmes last one-year (full-time), students whose programme lasts two years will continue to receive the Scholarship in their second year.

Eligibility

As long as you hold a first degree or higher degree from Durham University and apply for a course that begins within the 2024-25 academic year, you are automatically eligible for this Scholarship - you do not need to apply separately.

Those holding CHE/DHE or postgraduate/CPD credits only will unfortunately not be eligible to receive the Scholarship.

Those who have outstanding financial debt to the University will not be eligible until the debt has been cleared

For the purposes of both schemes, alumni are defined as those who have been awarded a degree qualification by Durham University, and who studied at Durham University (i.e. not a degree conferred by the University for study at another institution). A student in receipt of government loans for study is considered self-funding. The schemes do not apply to students receiving funding for their studies.
