Awards and scholarships 

Nationality Scholarship of £1,000 

A scholarship of £1,000 will be awarded to students 

(whether self-payers or sponsored) from the countries listed 

below who are studying certain full-time programmes. The 

programme must last a minimum of one academic year and 

the student must pay the full-time tuition fee. This 

scholarship will not be applied where a student has to 

repeat a programme or course. 

Eligible countries are: Bangladesh, Barbados, Botswana, 

Brazil, Cambodia, Colombia, Egypt, Ghana, India, Iran, Iraq, 

Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Korea (North and South),

People’s Republic of China Scholarship 

A scholarship of up to £1,000 may be available to students 

who have completed their studies on approved 

programmes at one of the university’s partner or link 

institutions in China and who progress to certain 

programmes on one of our three campuses. This will be 

agreed with the International Office prior to arrival for 

registration and before the start of the programme. To 

qualify, students must pay tuition fees in full on registration. 

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 per cent reduction on the postgraduate 

tuition fee. The 10 per cent reduction is applied after all 

scholarships and bursaries (where applicable) are deducted 

from the student fees. 

The programme must run a minimum of one academic year, 

and the reduction is applied upon full payment of the fulltime 

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 

assocation, 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 

assocation. 

For further information about these and other awards and 

scholarships, please visit www.gre.ac.uk/students/finance 

Pre-registration 

For programmes that are based on our three campuses, a 

pre-registration deposit of £2,500 is required for all predegree, 

undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at 

the time of accepting an offer. The pre-registration deposit 

for applicants from Nigeria and Ghana is £3,500. The 

deposit acts as part of the tuition fees and reduces the 

tuition fees payable on registration. 

The deposit is 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. 

Deposits CANNOT be paid by cheque, credit/debit 

card or cash. Accepted methods of payment are: 

• Bank draft made payable to the University of Greenwich 

and forwarded to:

these details. 

Payment of fees at registration 

During online registration you will be given a summary of 

the tuition fees payable less any discounts. In order to 

complete your registration, you will be asked to enter your 

credit/debit card details; if you do not have a credit/debit 

card, you can pay your fees by bank transfer. If you are

In addition, continuing students may pay via the student 

portal. Log in at https://portal.gre.ac.uk/cp/home/

Payment plan 

After your deposit and all other discounts are applied, the 

remaining balance can be paid in two equal payments. You 

will be asked to pay the first 50 per cent of the balance at 

registration. For September starters, the final payment will be 

due before the last Friday in January; for January starters, the 

final payment will be due before the last Friday in May. 

Example: 2010–11 

Postgraduate fee £9,350 

Deposit paid -£2,500 

Nationality Scholarship -£1,000 

Balance £5,850 

Minimum payment at registration £2,925 

Balance due last Friday in January £2,925 

for September starters and last Friday 

in May for January starters. 

You cannot be admitted as a registered student of the 

university until acceptable arrangements for payment of fees 

are agreed. If your government or an employer is 

sponsoring you, please bring a letter confirming this. 

However, please note that students are responsible 

for any fee payment not made by the sponsor. 

Letters of sponsorship from individuals (e.g. 

parents, relatives or friends) are not 

acceptable. 

Discount for full payment 

International students may receive a 5 per cent discount on 

their net tuition fees if they make full payment of the year 

fees at the first opportunity of registration in September or 

January. MPharm students are not eligible for this discount. 

The five per cent discount will be for net tuition fees only 

and will not apply to accommodation charges.



Student withdrawal, interruption, deferral or 

non-registration 

a. Where a student withdraws from a programme, the 

deposit is not refundable. Any monies due to be 

refunded will be returned to the student’s home country. 

b. A student’s withdrawal must conform to the university’s 

withdrawal policy. 

c. Where an applicant fails to register, the deposit is not 

refundable or transferable. 

d. Requests for a student to defer or interrupt their studies 

will only be allowed in exceptional circumstances and 

must conform to university policy. 

e. The university will notify the UK Border Agency when a 

student withdraws, interrupts or defers from study. 

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 reenrolment 

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. Please see the university’s debt policy for 

further information at www.gre.ac.uk/students/finance 

Resitting and resubmission 

Where a student needs to retake a course with tuition, a pro 

rata tuition charge will be payable based on the number of 

credits studied. A reduced level of charge will apply for 

resubmission of an assessment only. Students who repeat or 

interrupt will pay the published annual fee applicable for the 

year of re-entry. The Nationality Scholarship will not apply to 

resit or resubmission fees. 

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. 

Note 

Unless arrangements as set out above are agreed at 

registration, you will be unable to register. 

Should you have any queries or problems regarding your 

fees, please contact your local campus 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.
