Funding Postgraduate Study

Money is one of the biggest issues someone considering postgraduate study needs to think about. Unlike undergrad degrees, there are no public funding like the student loans to help with the costs (the exception being PGCEs).

The sooner you start thinking about funding, the more chance you'll have something in place and be able to begin your course.

Have a look at the different funding options open to you.

If you're specifically applying to study arts or social science subjets, take a look at the postgraduate funding in the social sciences and Arts articles.
