Financial support for Certificate of Higher Education students (2011/2012 entry)
The information provided here relates to Certificate of Higher Education students starting in 2011/2012. If you are planning to start your studies in 2012/2013, you will need to check our information on government loans and financial support.
- Watch our financial support video or follow our step-by-step guide to financial support: we take you through the steps you need to follow to find out if you are eligible for a non-repayable Government grant, or bursary from Birkbeck.
- Please note: To be eligible for financial support, you must plan to complete your Certificate of Higher Education in no more than two years and study a minimum of 60 credit points in your first year.
- The exception to this are the six designated "fast-track" one year Certificate of Higher Education courses which are supported by PTG1 funding.
