Loans and grants

The loan or grant you are entitled to will depend upon your individual circumstances, where you live, and what you are studying.

Course-specific funding

If you’re considering a career in healthcare, social work, law, journalism or an MBA, there may be additional funding and support available to you.

Scholarships

We wish to recruit the very best students, and to help us achieve this, we offer a number of scholarships.

Additional sources of income

Postgraduate students can earn extra income through on-campus jobs and research grants.

My advice to prospective postgraduates is to do as much research into funding as possible. Take a chance when considering and applying for funding. Even if you think you might not quite meet the criteria, you might be pleasantly surprised.
