How to apply

You don't need to apply for this discount. If you are eligible, the discount will be applied automatically to your fees invoice. 

Your alumni discount will be applied to the balance that you, as a student, must fund yourself after any other sponsorship or bursary is applied.

We cannot confirm if you are qualified for the discount before you register at the University. It will not be stated on your offer letter.
