Postgraduate Study
Tuition Fees and Financial Support
Deciding to do postgraduate study isn’t just about finding the right university and the right course for you. Many students need to think about how they’re going to fund their studies and meet their living costs while working towards another degree.
It is important to be aware that postgraduate study is a huge financial commitment so it is crucial that you start to think about funding arrangements as soon as possible (ideally up to a year before your programme starts). Funding is notoriously competitive so don’t be surprised if you have to rely on more than one source of funding as this is becoming increasingly common. For information on some of the most common funding opportunities that are available to you, use the links below:
Taught Degrees (UK/EU) Students
Taught Degrees (International) Students
Research Degrees (UK/EU) Students
Research Degrees (International) Students
If you are unsure whether you will be classed as a UK/EU or an international student, you should consult the UKCOSA Guidance Notes entitled ‘Fees and Student Support’.
