The Keele Graduate Scholarship

The award

UK students who have achieved the following undergraduate awards in their first degree will automatically be awarded the following scholarship as a tuition fee discount:

1st - £3,000
2:1 - £2,000

Eligibility

• You must be liable to pay UK tuition fees for postgraduate study at Keele University.
• You must have graduated with either a 1st or 2:1 undergraduate degree (Bachelors or Integrated Master's) from a UK university. If you have graduated from a university outside the UK, we will require a copy of your degree certificate and may ask that you provide evidence that your classification is equivalent to a 1st or 2:1 degree obtained in the UK.
• You must have been resident in the UK for at least three years prior to embarking on postgraduate study. You must not have been resident purely for the purpose of receiving education.
• For the purposes of assessing your eligibility for this award, we will only consider the classification obtained in your first degree. Performance in postgraduate and graduate study or second undergraduate degrees will not be considered. Similarly, we will not consider performance in academic study that is considered to be at a lower level than a degree, or equivalent experience.
• The scholarship is available for students studying on either a full-time or part-time basis. However, you must be registered on and attending a taught postgraduate course that equates to at least one year's full-time study at postgraduate level and leads to a named award of at least Master's level at Keele University. Please note that students registered on a Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma will not be eligible for this award.
• The scholarship is for students who will be based at Keele University and start their studies in the academic year 2026/27.
