The university can offer support to UK students who are experiencing financial difficulties. If you’d like any advice about your eligibility, or you’d like to discuss your situation as an international student, make an appointment with an adviser.
UK students can apply for the support options below:
The Student Support Fund can offer support to UK students who are experiencing financial difficulties. It isn’t guaranteed for any particular year or for the whole duration of an academic year, but if you’re experiencing financial difficulties, you can apply.
Students experiencing problems with their statutory student funding – e.g. Student Finance or NHS who haven’t received the first payment and are in immediate hardship as a result – are advised to make an appointment with a Money and Support Adviser.
We offer support for Care Leavers if you’ve let us know you’re a Care Leaver, we’ll let you know how to apply for the bursary.
We offer support for student carers who need financial support. We recognise caring often has financial implications (such as less availability for paid work and increased travel costs). If you received the Carers Bursary last academic year you will be automatically sent an application form
We offer support for students who are estranged from their parents or become estranged during their studies. If you received the Estranged Bursary last academic year you will be automatically sent an application form.
We offer support for students who have experienced homelessness 6 months prior to commencing your course, or during your course. Make an appointment with a Money and Support Adviser to discuss your situation.
We can provide discretionary assistance to eligible international students who are facing financial hardship due to significant unexpected and unforeseen circumstances. The International Student Emergency Fund is not available for hardship due to a shortfall in income.
