need some funding advice?

If you are thinking of coming to University but need some advice on the financial implications of doing so, we're the place for you. You can book an appointment to see an Adviser, or browse through the information on our website.

It's vitally important that you work out how you can support yourself at Uni before you get here so as to avoid any money mishaps.

 

Students with childcare costs

Many students who come to our University have children. If you have children and need help paying for childcare, you should check out our information on childcare funding. Reading the procedures for the funds will give you an idea of the levels of support we can provide. This should help you decide what childcare to use and should be done before you sign any contracts.

You can also have a look at our childcare section if you need some help sourcing childcare.

You can also book an appointment with an Adviser who can talk you through the support available.

 
Claiming child Maintenence?

Child Maintenance is now ignored for working out Income Support. This means that people who applied before April and have been turned down because of the maintenance income, or students who tried last summer and were refused, may now qualify for income support. For more information please contact your local Welfare Rights Office or contact the DWP.
