Funding

Choosing to take up postgraduate study is a major investment – a commitment to yourself, your subject and your future career. The majority of postgraduate students studying in the UK fund their own studies, often through a combination of personal savings, parental loans or contributions, bank loans and support from a trust of charity.

Actual course fees vary depending on your nationality and area of study – visit our Costs of Study and Fees pages for more detailed information. If you are an International student, the University guarantees that if you accept a place and register here, you will pay the same fee for each year of your programme.

The information contained in these pages is designed to provide some basic details about the main sources of funding open to postgraduate students who wish to study at The University of Nottingham. Limited financial support and highly competitive scholarships are available, and we encourage all potential applicants to explore all funding possibilities. Please use our Postgraduate Funding Sources for funding opportunities you may be eligible for.

Within these pages you will find helpful information relating to the cost of studying at Nottingham and funding opportunities to help finance your studies.

We recommend that prospective students begin researching funding opportunities at least a year in advance of their proposed start date.
