Every year many of our returning students, especially our part-time students miss the deadline for Students Finance. Check you've applied and if not, get it done!

And, did you know about our University Bursaries? If you haven't already, check if you're eligible for the means tested bursary and if you can apply. The deadline is 1 October 2021.

Some students have already been assessed quickly and easily, but for those of you who haven’t,  Student Wellbeing help guide you through the process if you need any help or have any questions.


Here's a step-by-step guide

Make sure you use the correct form

  • This may seem obvious, but it often catches people out, especially when looking for a form online.
  • If you have been sent an email with a direct link, the chances are that this will take you to a preloaded series of questions and your data will have automatically been entered.

Ensure your funding authority has the correct contact details for you

  • Always check the small print. If you need a paper form you can use this link to reapply for funding
  • If your parents or partner are required to support your application they need to refer to income details from financial year 2015/16
  • If you are applying online, you need to print, sign and return your online declaration
