Further Info
Staff tuition fee policy
The University has a staff tuition fee policy that allows staff to apply for full payment of tuition fees for a programme or course if a training need has been identified and if the course/programme studied would ‘enhance the member of staff’s capacity to perform his other current or planned future duties within the University.’ You may wish to review that policy if the online course you wish to study is directly relevant to your job role and professional development.
