Student Funding
It is very important to think about how you will fund your studies. Getting your money sorted out early will mean that you know what you can expect in terms of funding, and you can plan how you will budget throughout the year.
Please note that if you apply late for funding, your award may not be processed in time for the start of your course. In cases like this, you may need to ensure you have funds available for the early weeks of your course.
