UK Students
There is a range of financial assistance available to UK students. However, this may not cover all your commitments so you may need to supplement any award that you receive with your own money. You should not begin a programme without ensuring that you have enough money for fees and living expenses.
Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS)
SAAS have a Postgraduate Student Allowances Scheme (PSAS) which provides tuition fees and a means tested bursary for Scottish Students on certain postgraduate taught programmes wishing to study full-time. The University must nominate you for support before you can apply, so please check with the Graduate School Admissions Unit.
SCAST Postgraduate Awards
Research and Taught Postgraduate Funding awards available to students from participating Schools in England.
Charities and Bank Loans
A number of governmental and non‑governmental bodies, including educational charities, provide financial assistance to students in specific circumstances. Certain Banks are also prepared to offer career development loans.
Schools
Schools have a number of special scholarships, especially for research students. For example there are studentships for PhD students covering the fees and a maintenance grant. Sometimes, Schools will give research students paid work.
