The University of Exeter Alumni Scholarship is a generous initiative aimed at supporting graduates of the University of Exeter who wish to pursue further studies at the institution. This scholarship is available to alumni who are enrolling in standalone taught Master’s degrees, such as MA, MSc, MRes, MFA, LLM, PGCert, and PGDip, as well as research degrees like MPhil and PhD. By offering financial assistance, the scholarship seeks to ease the burden of tuition fees and encourage alumni to continue their academic journey at Exeter.
One of the key features of the University of Exeter Alumni Scholarship is its inclusivity, extending to both on-campus and online postgraduate programs. Alumni who choose to pursue their Master’s or research degrees through Exeter’s online platforms, including microcredentials (online credit-bearing short courses), are also eligible for this scholarship. This flexibility allows graduates to further their education regardless of their geographical location or personal commitments.
Exeter’s academic strengths span a wide range of disciplines, with particular recognition in fields such as business, engineering, environmental science, humanities, and social sciences. The university offers a diverse array of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Exeter’s commitment to research excellence is evident in its involvement in pioneering projects that address some of the world’s most pressing challenges, from climate change to global health.
However, it is important to note that while the scholarship covers a wide range of postgraduate courses, the MA Education (Online) program is not eligible for this financial support. Despite this exception, the scholarship remains a significant benefit for many alumni, particularly those looking to advance their careers through higher education without the full financial strain typically associated with postgraduate studies.
The University of Exeter Alumni Scholarship underscores the institution’s commitment to its graduates, offering them continued support as they strive for academic and professional excellence. By reducing the cost of further education, the scholarship helps to foster a lifelong connection between the university and its alumni, encouraging them to remain engaged with Exeter’s vibrant academic community.
The scholarship scheme also includes University of Exeter’s online postgraduate programs, including microcredentials (online credit-bearing short courses). However, the MA Education (Online) program is not eligible for this scholarship.
The PGCE programme is also eligible for this award.
