NTU student progression discount
If you are a current NTU student and you choose to study the Graduate Diploma in Law full-time, the Legal Practice Course full-time or part-time, or the Bar Professional Training Course, you will automatically receive a £1,000 discount off your tuition fee. If you choose to study one of our Masters in Law (LLMs) you will automatically receive a 10% progression discount off your tuition fee.

You do not need to apply for the discount as it will automatically be deducted from your fee before enrolment.
You can also apply for scholarship, however the total maximum award will not exceed £2,000.
The scheme is not applicable to sponsored students (either partially or fully) and applies to 2012 entry only.
The scheme applies only to those students who progress directly onto their vocational or Masters course (i.e. students who graduate in summer 2013 must start their vocational or Masters course in autumn 2013 to qualify for the progression discount).
