Get your study funded by your employer

Did you know? A significant proportion of our postgraduate students receive partial or full tuition funding from their current employers.

Investing in your education is an investment in your company’s capability. Employers benefit from your study through: 

  • Immediate knowledge transfer: Apply research, technical skills, and leadership strategies directly to your day-to-day work.
  • Cost-effective upskilling: Bringing cutting-edge insights in-house reduces the need for expensive external consultants.
  • Flexible delivery: Flexible online learning formats allow you to study around your full-time work commitments without taking extended leave.  

Addressing common employer objections

  • "It's too expensive": Ask if they can contribute a partial sponsorship or match your personal investment.
  • "We might lose you after graduation": Offer a commitment to remain with the company for a set period (e.g., 12–24 months) post-completion.
  • "It will affect your work performance": Emphasise how flexible pacing ensures zero disruption to your daily deliverables.  

To make this step as easy as possible, we’ve put together an Employer Pitch Template - including a customisable email draft and a 1-page business case builder you can bring to your next 1-on-1.
