4 Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, location of our Greenwich Campus 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% reduction on the postgraduate tuition fee. The 10% reduction is applied after all scholarships and bursaries (where applicable) are deducted from the student fees. Students who have studied an undergraduate programme at one of our international collaborative partner institutions and are progressing on to a nongovernment/research funded postgraduate programme at the university may also apply for an Alumni Progression Bursary. The programme must run a minimum of one academic year, and the reduction is applied upon full payment of the full-time 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 association, which offers a wide range of benefits for past students (alumni) and is free to join (visit for further information). If a student is awarded this discount, his or her details will be passed to the alumni association. For further information about these and other awards and scholarships, please visit Federal Student Aid Programme Financial assistance is available for American students studying at an overseas university. The University of Greenwich is a participant of this programme. For further details, visit federal-loans. Pre-registration For programmes that are based on our three campuses, a pre-registration deposit of 3,000 is required for all predegree, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at the time of accepting an offer. The deposit acts as part of the tuition fees and reduces the tuition fees payable on registration.

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 4
