Awards and scholarshipsInternational Scholarship Award

The University of Greenwich has a £1 million scholarships fund available each year to help the best and brightest international students. Applications for the scholarship are open to new full time, international students holding an offer to start their course in academic year 2019/20. University of Greenwich International College (UGIC) students progressing to the University, will also be considered. Payment of this award is by way of tuition fee reduction. For full information this scholarship, application deadlines and how to apply, please visit gre.ac.uk/students/finance

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 the 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 non-government/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 PhDs, MPhils, PGCE/CertEd and Diploma of Architecture programmes and programmes such as the MEng and MPharm which attract undergraduate fees.

Students are encouraged to join the university’s alumni association, which offers a variety of benefits for past students (alumni) and is free to join (visit gre.ac.uk/alumni for more information). If a student is awarded this discount, his or her details will be passed to the association.

For further information about these and other awards and scholarships, please visit gre.ac.uk/students/finance

Pre-degree, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes based on one of our three campuses require pre-registration deposit of £3,000 at the time of accepting an offer. The deposit acts as part of the tuition fees and reduces the tuition fees payable on registration.

Deposits CANNOT be paid by cheque, credit/debit card or cash. The accepted method of payment is:

Electronic transfer direct to the university bank account (please note that your bank may charge you for this service):

Please contact the International Office once you believe your funds have arrived (usually five working days after the transfer) so we can check the payment and process your Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) if appropriate.

If you are a student sponsored by your government or employer, you must bring your sponsorship letter with you to registration. Failure to do this will result in you not being admitted to your programme. Please note that students are responsible for all fee payments not covered by your sponsor.

Payment of fees at registration

During online registration, you will be given a summary of the tuition fees payable, less any discounts. In order to complete your registration, you will be asked to enter your credit/debit card details; if you do not have a credit/debit card, you can pay your fees by bank transfer. If you are transferring funds to pay for the tuition fees, please see the bank details given on page 4.

In addition, continuing students may pay via the student portal. Log on to https://portal.gre.ac.uk and click on the ‘My Support Lab’ you will require your student ID and password.

Students studying on a visa

An international student studying on a student visa must be studying on a full-time programme. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that he or she is in possession of an appropriate and valid visa. Details of fees payable to the UK government for processing extensions to visas are available at www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-immigration

Once you have paid your deposit and met all your offer conditions, please contact the International Office and we will assist you in obtaining a Confirmation Acceptance of Studies. Please ensure that you include your full name, date of birth and student reference number in all communications.

Policy on deposits

Deposits paid to the university are usually non-refundable, except in the following circumstances:

• The student is subject to a refused UK student visa application (see below).

• The student does not meet the academic conditions of their offer.

• You have extenuating circumstances which are accepted by the university.

• The university is unable to issue a CAS to a student who requires a Tier 4 visa.

A deposit will be held for a maximum of 2 years, during which time the student is expected to register with the university or provide evidence that one of the circumstances listed above applies. In the event that a student defers their study to a later academic session, the deposit may be transferred to the new intake.

After 2 years, the deposit will be non-transferrable and non-refundable.

Deposits (and any tuition fees paid in excess of this) will be refunded in the event that an application for a UK student visa is refused and:

• the student has not yet started their programme of study.

• the visa application was submitted after the deposit was paid and applies to the same academic year as the unconditional offer.

• the visa application was made using an offer letter or CAS issued by the University of Greenwich.

• the student provides the university with a full copy of the visa refusal letter.

• all reasonable steps have been taken, where applicable, to overturn the refusal decision.

• the refusal was not the result of a foreseeable error on behalf of the student of their agent.

• the refusal did not result from fraudulent or misleading information submitted by the student on their agent.

Students whose visas are refused after they have registered with the university and commenced their programme of study will be considered as withdrawn and subject to a refund in accordance with the withdrawal policy as outlined below.

Where a refund is applicable due to a visa refusal, the university will normally charge an administration fee of £250, to be deducted from the balance to be refunded.

6

Students withdrawal, interruption, deferral or non-registration

Where a student withdraws from a programme, the deposit is not refundable. Any monies due to be refunded will be returned to the student’s home country.

A student’s withdrawal must conform to the university’s withdrawal policy.

Requests for a student to defer or interrupt his or her studies will only be allowed in exceptional circumstances and must conform to university policy.

The university will notify UK Visa & Immigration when a student withdraws, interrupts or defers from the study.

For more on withdrawal and interruption of studies, see gre.ac.uk/students/interrupt

Failure to pay fees

Registration for continuing students is dependent on the previous year’s tuition fees being paid in full. The student who have fees outstanding will become subject to the university policy for non-payment of tuition fees. You won’t be able to, for example, submit work, receive your award certificate, attend your graduation ceremony or re-register on subsequent years of study or a new programme at the university.

Resitting and resubmission

Where a student needs to retake a course, a pro rata tuition charge will be payable based on the number of credits studied. Students who repeat or interrupt will pay the published annual fee applicable for the year of re-entry.

Note

Unless arrangements, as set out in this leaflet are agreed at registration, you will be unable to register. Should you have any queries or problems regarding your fees, please contact your local Student Centre or the International Office.

Students starting programmes in subsequent years will pay the published fee for new entrants to the relevant academic year and will come under a different set of arrangements to those advised here. The university will endeavour to minimise any increases.

The fees for any new programmes will be determined after the validation. Tuition fees are subject to an annual fee setting exercise and will rise annually by no more than RPI- X + 3% (Retail Price Index excluding mortgage interest payments +3%). We would only consider an increase to the fee rate for continuing students to reflect the increased cost of delivering the course in subsequent years. This does not apply to students studying in the Medway School of Pharmacy, whom should contact the International Office.

Any fee rate increase would be considered on the basis that it was needed to reflect the increased cost of delivering the programme in subsequent years.
