PGR Laptop Loan Scheme

In the financial year 1 August 2024 – 31 July 2025, the PGR Laptop Loan Scheme will provide all main campus based first year PGR students with a new or reconditioned laptop to use for the duration of their studies.

  • For clarity and for the purpose of this scheme, PGR students are those registered on PhD, MPhil or MD programmes (this includes intercalating Medical students undertaking an MPhil).
  • ‘Main campus’ means The University’s Liverpool campus, Leahurst and University of Liverpool hospital locations.

The scheme is administered by PRET in conjunction with colleagues in IT Services. All applications are processed by PRET in the first instance.
