Southampton Teachers' Postgraduate Scholarship

This scholarship is a 10% discount on tuition fees for a UK or international student applying to study the part-time, 2-year MSc Education (Online) programme starting in 2025.

We'll issue the 10% discount as a tuition fee reduction on both years of part-time study. For 2025 entry, the 10% discount for year 1 will be £462.50. The amount discounted from your tuition fee will change with the programme fee each year, but will still be a 10% discount on the fee for that year.
