Fees and funding

Funding opportunities

Postgraduate students require funding in order to be able to follow their chosen course and you must show evidence of adequate financial support for the entire period of the course before admission can be confirmed.

Students can supplement their financial support by teaching in the Colleges or in Department, but please note the amount that can be earned is not sufficient for full support and cannot be used to satisfy the University’s financial condition.
