Financial support for MPhil/PhD students

At MPhil/PhD level, there is limited funding. MPhil/PhD students are expected to have made realistic provision at the start of their course to fund their tuition fees, course costs and living costs.

Overview of financial support: if you are planning to start your degree in September 2012 or January 2013, you may find our overview helpful.

Academic funding: You may be eligible to apply for academic studentships, including:

• AHRC Block Grant Funding
• Bloomsbury Colleges studentships
• School of Arts research studentships
• School of Business, Economics and Informatics research studentships
• School of Social Sciences, History and Philosophy research studentships
• The Economic and Social Research Council Studentships

Career Development Loans: this is a bank loan designed to help you pay for work-related learning. You don't have to start paying your loan back until one month after you stop training.

Disabled Students' Allowance: this provides financial help for students with a disability, medical condition or specific learning difficulty. Help with childcare costs: you may be able to get some help to pay for your childcare.

If you want further advice and guidance, please contact the Student Financial Support Office or visit the team at an Open Evening.
