by Last verified: 18 October 2026. We checked these UBE postgraduate scholarship details against the University of the Built Environment’s official pages.
The University of the Built Environment (UBE) still offers a postgraduate scholarship worth up to 50% off tuition. It’s for students with a strong academic record and financial need. The next intake starts on 27 September 2027, and the course application deadline is 9 August 2027.
UBE hasn’t published the scholarship deadline for that intake yet. In the last round it was 3 August 2026, so expect a date close to the course deadline.

How UBE picks scholarship winners
- You send evidence of your financial situation to finance@ube.ac.uk.
- UBE reviews your academic record and your financial need together.
- Shortlisted applicants then attend a virtual interview.
Worked example
Kofi has a 2:1 in civil engineering and an offer for the MSc Quantity Surveying. He can’t cover the full fee on his own. So he gathers bank statements and proof of income, emails them to UBE’s finance team well before August, and prepares for a short virtual interview. If he wins the top award, UBE takes up to half off his tuition.
Checklist before you apply
- Get an offer for one of the six eligible programmes first.
- Collect clear evidence of financial need.
- Check the official page in spring 2027 for the new scholarship deadline.
- Apply for your course before 9 August 2027.
- Finally, budget for the rest of your fees and any visa costs; see our UK student visa fee guide.
UBE fees and what the scholarship saves
UBE’s latest published fee for its MSc programmes is £11,400 (eleven thousand four hundred pounds) for the whole course, labelled 2026/27. The Construction Management page shows the same figure, while Urban Planning still says “TBC”. UBE charges UK and international students the same fee.
| Scholarship level | Fee you pay (on £11,400) |
|---|---|
| 50% (maximum) | £5,700 |
| No scholarship | £11,400 |
All UBE Masters courses run online and part-time over two years. So you can spread the cost across two years while you keep working.
Studying online from abroad
UBE says its courses are 100% online and that you can study without needing a visa. That saves you flights, rent and visa fees. But you won’t move to the UK as a student, so this route suits people who want the qualification without relocating. If you’d rather study in the UK, look at campus options such as GREAT Scholarships for a UK Masters.
