Alumni Discount Scheme

All of our former students who have studied and successfully completed an undergraduate degree, DipHE or postgraduate taught programme at the College and who now wish to progress to a different postgraduate taught or postgraduate research degree at Goldsmiths can apply for a special discount on tuition fees.

In order to apply for the reduced tuition fee you will need to be accepted on to your intended programme of study and to satisfy all the normal academic admissions criteria as well as all the conditions of enrolment and registration set down by the College.

The scheme will involve the following discount on the appropriate tuition fee levied on the first year of attendance of the programme (and not any subsequent or repeat year):

• Students liable to pay the home or EU fee - a reduction of £250 for full-time or £125 for part-time attendance (pro-rata for fees paid on a modular basis).
  
  
• Students liable to pay the overseas fee - a reduction of £500 for full-time or £250 for part-time attendance (regardless of whether the fee for the programme ia a 'high' or 'low' cost fee).

We regret that this scheme cannot be used in conjunction with any other sponsorship, scholarship or bursary scheme such as Research Council scholarships, overseas agency or government scholarships or by students supported by their employer for professional development programmes, students intending to pursue a PGCE or students in receipt of any other discount or scholarship scheme offered by the College.

The discount can only be applied to tuition fees and cannot be used to cover any other programme-related expenses (e.g. residential costs, materials or membership fees).

How do you claim your discount?

If you wish to claim the alumni discount on tuition fees you will be required to show your eligibility at enrolment by presenting the original certificate confirming your successful completion of an undergraduate degree, DipHE or postgraduate taught award at Goldsmiths and by asking for the discount on your fees. Your invoice for fees will then be reduced by the appropriate amount.

The small print!

If you subsequently withdraw from the postgraduate programme after you have claimed a reduced fee under the alumni discount scheme and you seek to claim a pro-rata refund of tuition fees, you will only be eligible for a refund on the portion of the fee paid.

If you have any queries, please contact the Fees office.
