University of Westminster Postgraduate Applications Thread

Hi Kim,

I have received an unconditional offer from University of Westminster.

Course: Investment and Risk Finance MSc - Full time - intake Sep 2020 - tuition fee 14,500 GBP

I'm an EU student and been told I classify as a home student in regards of fees. (I have pre-settled status if relevant)

My question is do I need to pay a deposit if I accept the offer? If yes, how much and when?

Also if paying my tuition fees in installments will they be 3 (33%, 33% ad 34% respectively) or 2 (50% each)? I will be applying for government loan as well, but as far as I understood that doesn't have anything to do with installments on the outstanding amount not covered by the loan.

So in general what I'm trying to find out is when and how much I'll need to pay should I accept my offer by end of Dec.

Many thanks,

Aleksandra

Hi Aleksandra

You don't pay a deposit if you're classed as a home student. Deposits are only paid by international students who require a TIER 4 student visa.

If your student finance application is approved and the university has confirmed your registration, you will be required to pay 33% of your tuition fees by enrolment in September. The remaining fees are paid in 33% and 34% respectively. If your student finance application is not approved you will be required to pay 50% of your tuition fees at enrolment until your student finance application is approved and tuition fee payments can be made in line with your postgraduate loan.

UK /EU Postgraduate and PhD – Funded through Student Loan Company PG/PhD loans* or who are self-funded

SEPTEMBER STARTERS 33% 33% 34% - 30 SEPTEMBER 31 JANUARY 30 APRIL


Admissions teams will always set deadline dates for accepting offers. This is for monitoring purposes and so course tutors know how many people have accepted places on their courses. It is also needed for International applicants.

Hi,I'm considering applying to UoW, I'm currently studying a master degree in France (I'm an international student) and I will be done with it when I will apply to Westminster therefore I was wondering if I had to send my transcript from my undergraduate or if sending my transcript from my master and my undergraduate diploma was sufficient ?

Hi Ken

Yes can you send a copy of your UG transcript as well as any transcript you have from your Masters.

Many thanks

Hi! I'm applying for a PhD in Linguistics. I have a BA degree in Translation and a MA degree in English language teaching. Do I need to take any English language tests, for example IELTS?

Will there be any other scholarships annouced for January 2021, other than international part fee scholarship?

Hey.

I am hoping to apply for Business Intelligence and Analytics MSc for the September 2021 intake. I noticed the requirements are a bachelors degree with a background in a scientific or engineering discipline.

I have a first-class bachelors degree in Banking and Finance and a distinction MSc in Global Finance where I studied statistics and quantitative methods.

Do you reckon I meet the entry requirements?

Hi,

It's great to hear that you are planning to apply for the Business Intelligence and Analytics MSc course at the University of Westminster.
Based on the qualifications that you hold I would strongly advise you to go ahead and make an application. The qualifications do state that they are looking for a scientific or engineering background but we would also welcome an undergraduate degree in Finance. It would be important to include your experience of statistics and quantitative methods in your application.

Best wishes,

James
