Alumni Progression Bursary
International students registering for a
postgraduate programme after completing
a degree programme at either a University
of Greenwich campus or partner college
are eligible for a 10% reduction on the
postgraduate tuition fee. The 10% reduction
is applied after all scholarships and
bursaries (where applicable) are deducted
from the student fees.
Students who have studied an
undergraduate programme at one of
our international collaborative partner
institutions and are progressing on to a non-
government/research funded postgraduate
programme at the university may also apply
for an Alumni Progression Bursary.
The programme must run a minimum of
one academic year, and the reduction is
applied upon full payment of the full-time
tuition fee. This reduction does not apply to
PGCE/CertEd and Diploma of Architecture
programmes and programmes such as the
MOst, MEng and MPharm which attract
undergraduate fees.
The student is encouraged to join the
university’s alumni association, which
offers a wide range of benefits for past
students (alumni) and is free to join
(visit www.gre.ac.uk/alumni for further
information). If a student is awarded this
discount, his or her details will be passed
to the alumni association.

Pre-registration
For programmes that are based on
our three campuses, a pre-registration
deposit of £3,000 is required for all pre-
degree, undergraduate and postgraduate
programmes at the time of accepting an
offer. The deposit acts as part of the tuition
fees and reduces the tuition fees payable
on registration.

4 student visa from outside the UK, the
deposit and tuition fees paid in excess
of the deposit are refundable only where
the applicant provides evidence that the
application for a student visa was not
accepted for the year the academic offer
was made. If an applicant defers his or
her offer of a place to the next university
intake, the deposit will be transferred to
the new intake and will be refundable only
where the applicant provides evidence that
the application for a student visa was not
accepted for that intake. All refunds will be
to the applicant’s home country.
For applicants who have registered with
the university on an existing visa and are
applying for a new visa to study with the
University of Greenwich the universities
withdrawal/interruption refund policy will
apply.

Failure to pay fees
Registration for continuing students is
dependant on the previous year’s fees
being paid in full. As in previous years,
student debtors are subject to an embargo
on the assessment of work, award of
certificates, attendance at graduation
ceremonies and provision of references,
or re-enrolment for failure to pay fees.
This applies to all fees, such as tuition
fees, halls of residence fees or fines for the
replacement of library books, and any debt,
whatsoever, to the university.
Resitting and resubmission
Where a student needs to retake a course,
a pro rata tuition charge will be payable
based on the number of credits studied.
Students who repeat or interrupt will pay
the published annual fee applicable for the
year of re-entry.
Note
Unless arrangements as set out in this
leaflet are agreed at registration, you will
be unable to register. Should you have
any queries or problems regarding your
fees, please contact your local Student
Centre or the International Office.
The university reserves the right to
change any fees at any time without
notice. Fees will be subject each year
to a small increase for inflation. The
university will endeavour to minimise
any increases.
The fees for any new programmes will
be determined after validation.

Students studying on
a visa
An international student studying on a
student visa must be studying on a full-time
programme. It is the student’s responsibility
to ensure that they are in possession of
an appropriate and valid visa. Details of
fees payable to the UK government for
processing extensions to visas are available
at www.ukvisas.gov.uk.

Once you have paid your deposit and met

all your offer conditions, please contact the
International Office and we will assist you
in obtaining a Confirmation of Acceptance
of Studies. Please ensure that you include
your full name, date of birth and student
reference number in all communications.
