FAQ
What does wholly self-funding mean?
If you are paying all your tuition fees yourself, including any support from a friend or relative, or you are in receipt of a career development loan or Postgraduate Loan from the Student Loans Company then you are classed as self-funded.
What does partially self-funding mean?
If you are in receipt of help towards your studies, for example, funding from your employer or part of your fees are being paid for by a third party where you have applied for funding (company, NGO, charity, external scholarship) then you are classed as partially-funded.
Please see examples below:
- Applicant A wishes to study a Master's where the normal overseas fee is £23,000, they have previously studied a Professional Diploma at LSTM and qualify for an alumni discount. They are successful in winning a Merit Scholarship (£10,000). The net fee is therefore £13,000. The 20% Alumni discount is then applied to the self-funding component (20% of £13,000 = £2,600). Applicant A is self-funding and is required to pay £10,400.
- Applicant B wishes to study a Master's where the normal home fee is £11,200. Applicant B is eligible for the Northern Progression discount which is 20% off the tuition fee £2,240. The net fee is therefore £8,960.
- Applicant C wishes to study a Master's where the normal overseas fee is £23,000. Applicant C has full scholarship funding from an external organisation covering full fees. No discount applies for fully sponsored students.
