Postgraduate funding and fees
£8m Scholarship Fund
At Kent we value our postgraduate students and the contribution they make to the University and the wider intellectual community.
We allocate over £6 million from our own funds and attract an additional £2 million to provide a variety of financial support opportunities for postgraduate students. These range from a generous number of research student scholarships, through to location specific funding, sport and music scholarships, and funding specifically for overseas fee-paying students. We have also established a Graduate Teaching Assistantship Scheme whereby postgraduate research students receive financial support in return for teaching within their academic school.
In addition Kent graduates and alumni are eligible to apply for the Loyalty Discount or Graduate School Scholarship.
Deadlines for scholarships vary but all applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to be considered for awards.
Postgraduate fees 2012
- The basic rate of tuition fee for 2012 for home fee paying students on postgraduate taught programmes leading to a Master's degree will be £4900
- Fees for home fee paying postgraduate research students registered for an MPhil/PhD will be kept at £3832, the same rate as the UK Research Councils.
- Standard fees for overseas fee paying students have been set at £11625 for non-laboratory programmes.
