AUB Alumni – Progression Discount

If you're an undergraduate Alumnus you may be eligible to receive one of the following discounts:

20% tuition fee discount when progressing from undergraduate to postgraduate study.
Academic scholarship – 33% tuition fee discount when progressing from undergraduate to postgraduate study with a first-class or 2:1 honours degree.

The Government provides a loan for postgraduate MA study. If a student meets the criteria, the Postgraduate Loan (PGL) will be paid to the student as a contribution towards Tuition Fees, living costs and other course costs.

What you need to know:

Loans will be available up to a maximum value of £12,471 for 2024/25 and paid directly to the student in three equal instalments per academic year, up to a maximum of two years.
Loans will be available to UK Nationals (and individuals with settled status in the UK).
Students under 60 will be eligible for MA loans.
Loans are available for all our MA programmes, excluding Master of Architecture – students studying full-time, part-time may be eligible.
In order to qualify for a part-time MA loan, you need to be studying at least 50% intensity of an equivalent full-time student in the first year of the course.
Loans are non-means-tested.
Students who already hold an MA qualification (or an equivalent or higher level qualification) won't be eligible for PGL. This applies even if the previous qualification was entirely self-funded and/or achieved outside the UK.
Lower level qualifications such as Postgraduate Diplomas or Postgraduate Certificates of Education won't affect eligibility for PGL.
Repayments will be income-contingent and made concurrently with undergraduate loans. Rates will be set at 6% of annual income over £21,000.
