Employer support

Discuss your plans for postgraduate study with your employer. They may be willing to contribute towards the tuition costs, since the additional skills you acquire will benefit them too.

Grants from charities and trusts

Alumni discount

We’re happy to offer a 20% discount to many current Nottingham Trent University (NTU) students and alumni. Find out if you could be eligible by contacting us today.

Employer tuition reimbursement

Your employer may help you pay for one of our online Masters degrees. You’ll need to demonstrate to your manager or HR department how the course will add value to your company.

It’s also likely that your employer will expect a return for their investment, such as a commitment to work for a set period of time.

How online Master degrees benefit you and your employer

• Save the business money: Your employer is securing your future with the business by contributing to your education. It will save them significantly compared to interviewing, hiring and training a replacement.
• Study around your schedule: Online learning gives you the flexibility to study around your existing work commitments, so you don’t need to take a break to develop your career.
• Prove your worth: Show how studying and improving your skill set will benefit the business.
