Alumni Postgraduate Loyalty Scheme

The Alumni Postgraduate Loyalty Scheme is the University of Suffolk’s commitment to lifelong learning within its global community. For Nigerian graduates who have already experienced the university’s unique Block and Blend learning style, this scheme provides a significant financial incentive to return for specialised postgraduate training. This loyalty reduction is designed to foster a sense of continuity and support for Nigerian students who have successfully navigated their undergraduate degrees and wish to deepen their expertise. By offering a substantial 25% discount, the university makes the path to a Master's or a Doctorate more financially viable, especially for self-funded students who have already invested in their UK education.

The University of Suffolk values its Nigerian alumni as vital members of its academic fabric. Whether you are returning to sharpen your business acumen with an MBA or aiming to lead in technological innovation through an MSc in Data Science, this scheme rewards your loyalty. It is automatically applied to your tuition account, removing the administrative burden of a separate application. For many Nigerian professionals, this reduction is the key factor that allows them to remain in the Suffolk ecosystem, benefiting from familiar support systems, world-class facilities at the Ipswich Waterfront, and a community that already recognises their potential and previous achievements.

Substantial Fee Waiver: A direct 25% reduction in the total tuition fee for your chosen postgraduate program.

Automatic Recognition: No separate application form is required; the university identifies your alumni status during the admissions process.

Progressive Support: Available for both taught Master's (Level 7) and research-based PhD (Level 8) programs.

Financial Planning: Significantly reduces the tuition balance required for CAS issuance and the UK Student Visa financial check.
