Financial support for undergraduate students
Foundation degrees, BA, BSc and LLB degrees
At Birkbeck, we believe that a lack of finances should not prevent you from studying. If you've never done an undergraduate degree before, we have more money available than ever before to help you finance your course.
- 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 see if you are eligible for a non-repayable Government grant, or bursary from Birkbeck.
- Disabled Students' Allowance: this provides financial help for students with a disability, medical condition or specific learning difficulty.
- Professional and career development loans: this is a bank loan designed to help you pay for work-related learning.
- Help with childcare costs: you may be eligible for some help with the cost of your childcare.
- Frequently asked questions: please see our frequently asked questions in case someone has already asked the same questions.
If you want to talk to someone directly, please contact our Student Financial Support office or visit us at an Open Evening.
