For more details on the various annual bursary competitions
Part-time work
If you want to earn some extra cash while you are studying then our Job Shop will provide you with access to thousands of jobs every year. Remember though while earning money is important you will need to keep the right balance between work and study so talk to your personal tutor to find the right balance for your subject area.
Professional career development loan
A Professional and Career Development Loan could help you pay for learning that enhances your job skills and career prospects. It’s a bank loan, so you’ll have to pay it back once you’ve left your course, however you don’t pay interest for the period when you’re in learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 interest free while you’re studying and once you’ve finished studying you pay it back in the normal way. Contact your local bank to find out more or find out more at the Directgov website.
Postgraduate funding guide
Prospects produce a useful funding guide to postgraduate study which can be found in the University library or you can order direct from the Prospects website.
