 Funding and scholarships
Funding and scholarships
There are different ways to fund
your postgraduate degree –
from subject, regional or country
scholarships to bursaries
and government loans.
International students
The University offers a wide range of
scholarships for international students.
When planning your studies and funding, you
should consider your living expenses, such as
accommodation, food, travel and leisure, plus
tuition fees.
You can work part-time for some extra spending
money, but cannot fund your studies through
part-time work. If you need a Tier 4 student visa,
you will need to show funds for your tuition fees
and living expenses – based on £1,015 per month
for a single student in 2020.

EU students

other EEA and Swiss nationals starting courses
in the 2021/22 academic year will no longer
be eligible for home/UK fee status or financial
support from Student Finance England.

This brochure has been drafted in advance of the academic year to which it applies. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information
contained in this brochure is accurate at the time of publishing, but changes (for example to course content) are likely to occur given the interval
between publication and commencement of the course. It is therefore very important to check our website for any updates before you apply for the
course by following nottingham.ac.uk/pgstudy. Where there is a difference between the contents of this brochure and our website, the contents of
the website take precedence.
