when we make an offer. Students with WMG Bursaries can still apply for WMG
Scholarships. Where successful, the scholarship will replace the bursary. Two
WMG awards cannot be awarded to the same individual.

Early
Acceptance Scheme

If you have an MSc
offer from us, you can request a place on the Early Acceptance Scheme (EAS).
Once accepted onto the scheme you must pay a £500 deposit which is credited to
your tuition fee account. This deposit must be paid within 2 weeks of acceptance
onto the scheme. In return, WMG will give you a £1000 discount on your overall
fees (£500 discount for home/EU fee payers).

If you wish to
apply, you can request a place using this form; you must already
hold a conditional or unconditional MSc offer from WMG before you apply.

Send no money now,
we will advise you how to pay your deposit if you are allocated a place.

• We will
  not accept EAS applications or deposit payments from an agent or third
  party.
• Places
  on the scheme are very strictly limited and allocated on a
  first-come-first-served basis. We expect the scheme to fill very quickly
  so we recommend you apply as soon as possible.
• Places
  on EAS are limited and are pre-allocated by region to ensure a fair
  distribution of places.
• The
  scheme is only available to students who have offers for the full-time MSc
  courses run by WMG in the UK, it is not transferrable to any other
  courses.
• The
  Early Acceptance Scheme is available to students paying home/EU fees, but
  the fee discount is £500 to reflect the lower home fee rate.
