Early Payment Discount

Other eligibility requirements

The discount is awarded as a £2,000 fee waiver for eligible students in the first year of their studies.

In order to be eligible, applicants must:

• Be an overseas fee-paying student for a full-time masters course starting in September 2026*
• Be self-funded (you must be paying for your studies independently rather than being sponsored. Students in receipt of an educational loan are eligible for this award)
• Not be in receipt of another scholarship from the University, such as the International Excellence Award or the Future Leaders scholarship (students can accept one University-managed scholarship of the highest value)
• Have paid the deposit via the applicant portal within 10 days of receiving an offer.

This discount is not open to students from the Surrey International Study Centre (SISC).

Students who are eligible for the alumni discount can have this scholarship in addition to the alumni discount (can combine the alumni discount and early payment discount).

MBA offer holders are eligible for this discount and may combine it with MBA programme‑managed scholarships, provided all individual eligibility criteria are met. View all MBA scholarships.

*Excludes part-time and distance-learning courses, including Veterinary General Practice PGCert.
