» Sponsorship

External sponsorship

If your employer is paying your tuition fees you'll need to submit a sponsor letter.

This must:

• Be on company headed paper
• Be signed by your employer
• Detail the amount they wish to pay and for which academic year (one year or all years of your course)
• Contain your full name and student number.

For further guidance please see the sponsor letter template provided:

• Sponsor Letter Template

  Please note:

  • Your sponsorship may not cover all of your tuition fees, so you may still need to make a payment to cover your personal contribution
  • We can't accept sponsor letters from overseas organisations without prior approval from our Finance team.

  University of Derby staff

  • Be signed by your Line Manager, Budget Manager and yourself.

  Please note

  • A new staff sponsorship letter is required for each academic year.
