Postgraduate StudiesTuition Fees and Funding Opportunities
Tuition fees: international studentsAs a general rule students who have not been ordinarily resident in the UK or a member state of the European Union for three years immediately preceding the commencement of registration for the course, or who have been resident during any part of those three years wholly or mainly for the purposes of receiving full-time education, will be classed as ‘international’ for fees purposes. The international tuition fees can be found here. For further information about this please contact the Registry. FundingSome information about the financing of postgraduate studies is given below, but further information can be found in the University’s on-line postgraduate prospectus or can be obtained from the Registry. UK Students Unfortunately, funding is very scarce for postgraduate courses. Some funding is available from external bodies such as the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The AHRC is funded by a number of sources including the British Academy and the Department of Higher and Further Education and offers support including professional and vocational awards and Studentships in the Humanities. Applications can be made via the Registry in February each year. Occasionally there are University of Wales Studentships available which are equivalent to the funding given by the AHRC, but these are subject to availability. A funding guide is available from the Registry. Most UK students are self-funding and many opt for Career Development Loans. International Students Loans American and Canadian students can apply for funding via the Federal Student Loan System for their respective countries. Scholarships International students may apply for Overseas Research Scholarships if they are intending to study for a full-time MPhil or PhD. Application forms are available in February of each year from the Registry and must be completed and returned to the Registry by the end of April in any given year. If candidates are successful in their application, fees are reduced to that of a home student. |
