Key information

Please note that students in receipt of any of the above awards at UG level would not be able to concurrently hold the Postgraduate Progression Award.

Eligibility criteria

Students in receipt of the Postgraduate Opportunity Award cannot concurrently hold the Postgraduate Progression Award.

Full-time taught postgraduate students will receive the award for one year.  For part-time students the award will be paid at a rate pro-rata to the ratio of their programme fee to the full-time programme fee.

The value of the award will refer to the pro-rata award where the student is registered on a part-time basis.
