Second Degree Students Studying at the same Level

Recent government policy has stopped institutions receiving government funding for many students from the UK and EU (non-UK) who already have a qualification at or above the level of the one they wish to take. This policy is known as the ELQ (equivalent or lower qualifications) policy.

From September 2009 most Home and EU undergraduate and postgraduate taught  students at Royal Holloway who are seeking to achieve a qualification that is at the same level, or lower, than one which they already hold will have to pay a higher non-subsidized tuition fee:

     Full-time study  -  Current Home/EU fee + £8000
     Part-time study -  Current Home/EU fee + £4000
    (Please note that the MBA will be charged at the current Home/EU rate without the additional fee)

For the current Home/EU fee please click here

However, there are a number of exemptions, for example students studying strategically important and vulnerable subjects (SIVS) will continue to receive funding support.

Students who qualify for the Disabled Students' Allowance will also continue to receive funding regardless of the programme they are studying. Disabled Students' Allowances provide extra financial help if you have a disability or specific learning difficulty like dyslexia. Please also note that the policy does not apply to postgraduate research courses (MRes, MPhil/PhD programmes), and that several taught programmes are exempt: please see the list below.

New Horizons Scholarships
Applicants to taught postgraduate programmes not listed below can apply for a New Horizons Scholarship to help cover the cost of tuition fees. Applicants awarded a New Horizons Scholarships will be billed the standard Home/EU fee for their programme.
Please read the guidance notes before completing a scholarship application form.
