Fees and funding
Funding
Undertaking research study will require university fees as well as support for your research activities and plans for subsistence during full or part-time study.
Funding sources include self-funding, funding by an employer or industrial partners; there are competitive funding opportunities available in most disciplines through, for example, our own university studentships or national (UK) research councils. International students may have options from either their home-based research funding organisations or may be eligible for some UK funds.
Learn more about the funding opportunities available to you.
