Funding for New Undergraduate students in September 2012

Student funding has changed significantly over the last few years. So before you come to University make sure you understand what you are eligible to apply for. On this page information is for full time Undergraduate students who normally live in England and have 'home' status. In other words you must have lived in England for more than three years prior to the start of your University course. You must also not already hold an honours degree.

Students who normally live in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland should check their funding with the relevant body.  (See related links)

So what is on offer from the UK Government and the University?
