International Early Payment Awards (January and February Start)

Early Payment Awards

To recognise the financial commitment of paying early we have two awards available to international offer holders.

For full terms and conditions for both awards please click here. See eligible programmes further down this page.

Early Deposit Award Spring Semester 2026 – £500

This award is for students who are joining UEA in January and February 2026 for an eligible full time taught masters programme.

Applicants paying the deposit amount outlined in their offer email by 28 November 2025 will receive a £500 tuition fee reduction.

See eligible programmes further down this page.

Full Payment Award Spring Semester 2026 – £1,000

This award is also for students who are joining UEA in January and February 2026 for an eligible full time taught masters programme.

Applicants paying One Year's tuition fees in full (minus any other UEA scholarship) by 12 December 2025 will receive a £1,000 tuition fee reduction.

Please note that the maximum total amount for these two awards is £1,000.

For example, an offer holder paying their £4,000 deposit before 28 November and then paying in full by 12 December will receive a £1,000 reduction in the tuition fee.

Example:

MSc Business and Management tuition fee: £24,300

International PG Merit Scholarship: £5,000

Deposit of £4,000 paid on 28 November

Early Deposit Award: £500

Outstanding tuition fees to pay: £24,300 - £5,000 (scholarship) - £500 (Early Deposit Award) = £18,800.

In this example, to qualify for the Early Full Payment Award you would need to pay the remaining tuition fees of £18,800 - £500 (Early Full Payment Award) = £18,300 by the 12 December 2025.
