A postgraduate course, whether full or part time, is the ideal way to top up your education and make a head start in your career. There are a number of ways to fund your postgraduate study. This can be through student finance, bursaries or help from grants, trusts and charities (see Alternative Funding), or a combination of all three.

There is information on the funding that may be available that you can use towards your tuition fees in the section on Studnet Finacne further down this page.
You can usually apply for this funding if you are a UK national or have no restrictions on your stay in the UK and have 3 years lawful residence in the UK and Islands prior to the start of the course.
In some cases, you may be able to apply for funding if you have settled (and sometimes pre-settled) status under the EU settlement scheme. There are other status's which would also make you eligible for funding for example if you are an EEA or Swiss migrant worker, child of a Turkish Worker, have been granted 'Calais Leave' etc. For more information on this, see your funding provider's website.
How much a student receives, how it is paid and who can receive it will vary depending on the scholarship or bursary, but the money doesn't usually have to be paid back (unless you decide to leave the course early).
