Postgraduate funding 2018

Hi I’ve just received a unconditional at Birmingham city university however I’m a little worried about if student finance is going to cover both my tuition fee and accomodation..

The course is £6900 and most accommodation prices are around £4000-5000 a year which means I would have to partly fund this myself.

Is £10,000 the maximum you get for finance? And how does it get paid does it get paid in 3 instalments? (Tuition fee to the university and the remainder to me) do you get a maintenance fee and grant? Or do you have to pay for these seperatley?

Could you give me a better explanation as I’m very confused.

Thanks, amber.

Hi, is it only up to £10,000? On the website it says £10,690?

Thanks,

Amber.

Hi Amber,

It is to increase to £10,690 in the academic year 2018/19.

Thanks

Right I get it now so that applies to us starting postgraduate study at university in September? Sorry for all the questions! I believe postgrad applications are to open in the summer too? Thanks
