Postgraduate programmes are not funded in the same way as undergraduate study. Finding the money to pay fees and living costs can be complicated, and you should therefore explore your options thoroughly.
Professional and Career Development Loans
Apply for a deferred payment bank loan that will be interest-free during your period of study.
Research Council funding
Research Councils offer funding in their subject areas for students of high academic ability.
University of Birmingham scholarships and grants
The University offers a range of central and subject-based scholarships as well as hardship grants.
Trusts, charities and external funding
Charities, trusts and other organisations can fund awards to postgraduates.
Other means of support
There are a number of alternative funding options that are available for postgraduates to explore.
Support for studying abroad
Scholarships are available to help you if you decide to study overseas.
International postgraduate students
Scholarships available to international postgraduates, centrally and through schools and departments.
