Financial Support

Once you’ve decided what you want to study, next comes the scary part – paying for it.

This section gives you the lowdown on the numerous funding options available. Our information advisers are here to help too. They can give you all the details you need including assistance with your application for a student loan or a scholarship. You can find details on your course fees in the programme brochures.

Loans
All of our full-time programmes qualify for student loans and allowances through StudyLink and many of our part time programmes qualify for student loans too. Find out more about Student Loans and Allowances.

Scholarships
Scholarships and grants are another way of helping you meet fees, programme-related costs and living expenses. We’ve got a great range of scholarships and grants – and they’re for all sorts of people, not just the ‘straight A’ students.
