Funding for postgraduate study

There are many ways to fund your postgraduate studies, suitable for the type of postgraduate course or programme that you will be pursuing.

Funding for taught postgraduate study

Find out about the various scholarships, loans, grants and bursaries that are available to fund your taught postgraduate study.

Funding for postgraduate research programmes

There are many ways of funding postgraduate research programmes, from scholarships and studentships, to postgraduate loans and research council funding.

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.
