• There is no additional Scholarship application process; eligibility will be automatically assessed at the

• If a student meets the eligibility criteria, the Scholarship will be awarded upon enrolment.
• Scholarships should be displayed during a student’s online enrolment, however if the University’s Finance
Office are aware when processing the invoice (or afterwards) that they are not a self-funding student the
Scholarship will be removed and standard overseas fees will apply.
• The Scholarship will be awarded as a reduction in fees for overseas students commencing their studies
in Academic Year 2022/23 and is available for one year only (two years for part-time students).
• If Recognition of Prior Learning or any other prior learning credits/experience are applied which reduce
the total number of taught credits below 180 credits, students will no longer be eligible for the Scholarship.
• No other form of Manchester Metropolitan University discount or scholarship may be used in conjunction
with the Postgraduate International Scholarship unless an exception applies in the terms and conditions
applicable to such other discount or scholarship. Where no exception applies, if a student is in receipt of
more than one form of fee reduction (including discounts, awards or scholarship) they will only receive
one fee reduction and will be awarded the greater amount. Please refer to the Regulations for the
Payment of University Fees for further information on how discounts/scholarships are applied.
• Students will not be eligible for the full Scholarship if they do not complete the full course and this results
in a reduction in the fees payable. If they withdraw, exit with a lesser award or do not complete the full
course for any reason other than as otherwise stated in this agreement, the Regulations for the Payment
of University Fees state discounts/scholarships will be pro-rated if the withdrawal or exit results in a
reduced tuition fee. In these cases, the value of any scholarship will be pro-rated in proportion to any
reduced tuition fees.
• If a student suspends from the course, the value of any award will be pro-rated in proportion to the tuition
fees charged. The remaining Scholarship will be applied in the following academic year providing students
return to their eligible course and the Scholarships are still available. If the Scholarship has already been

Regulations and Procedures, they will be required to pay the Scholarship back in full.
