College Bursaries
The College is committed to financially assisting students who need extra funding to complete their higher education studies. We have introduced significant measures to support targeted groups. Every full time home and EU student can be assessed for a bursary.

Additional Financial Assistance
Extra help will continue to be available for specific categories of students, such as those with disabilities or family responsibilities.
These arrangements only apply to students who wish to study in England. Different arrangements apply for students in Wales or Scotland.
EU students will be liable for the same tuition fees as UK (home) students, and will also be able to defer payment until their programme of study has been completed.

Equivalent or Lower Level Qualifications (ELQ's)
Due to changes in Government policy, students already possessing a qualification at a level equivalent to, or higher than, the programme they intend to study at any University in England will not attract government funding subsidies. Students who fall into this category will therefore need to pay the full tuition fee for the programme. There are some important exemptions to this rule, please read our ELQ documentation . If you would like further information and advice please contact Emma Richards on 0121 243 0092.
