🌳University of Roehampton

London, UK

A collegiate, parkland campus in southwest London with one of the UK's largest Psychology departments — and one of the most genuinely affordable ways into a London degree.

🤝 Tutopiya Partner — exclusive fee discount

£13,000–£14,000/year

£4,000/year off standard international tuition, unlocked directly through Tutopiya's university partnership network — not a public scholarship you'd need to separately apply and compete for.

🛠️ Work rights in UK: Typically up to 20 hours/week during term, full-time during holidays.

At this fee level, many students use part-time work to help cover a meaningful share of their costs. Applies to most Student visa holders on a degree-level course — always check the exact condition printed on your own visa (some pathway/foundation courses carry a lower limit).

Always confirm the current discounted fee with your Tutopiya counsellor before applying, since partnership terms are reviewed periodically.

🏆 Scholarships to look into

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or Roehampton's financial aid office.

Beyond government-level awards, most UK universities offer their own merit-based international scholarships — commonly a partial tuition reduction for strong A-Level/IB/IGCSE results, sometimes auto-considered from your application and sometimes requiring a short separate form.

  • Chevening Scholarships: UK government-funded, fully-funded, for one-year Master's study — highly competitive, open to students from eligible countries with leadership potential.
  • Commonwealth Scholarships: For citizens of Commonwealth countries, mainly postgraduate, funded by the UK government.
  • University international merit scholarships: Widely offered across Russell Group and other universities — typically a tuition-fee reduction for high entry grades, often renewable each year of study.

Chevening and Commonwealth are postgraduate-only. For undergraduate applicants, the university-specific merit scholarships are usually the more relevant route.
