Funding

EU undergraduates starting in 2013

This page provides a summary of the funding available to full-time undergraduate students from the EU who are starting a university course for the first time in 2013.

Tuition fee loan

You can get a loan from the UK government to cover the cost of your tuition fees whilst you are studying. You start to pay back this student loan after you have left university and you are earning over £21,000 a year.

Help with living costs

If you have an EU passport but have been living in the UK for more than three years you may be able to apply for some help from the government to cover your living costs.

EU widening access bursary

The details for this bursary in 2013 are still being confirmed. We anticipate that it will be similar to the EU widening access bursary available to students starting in 2012. This bursary in 2012 reduced the tutition fees you need to pay in the first year of your course by up to £3,000. University of Brighton widening access bursaries are funded by the National Scholarship Programme and do not need to be repaid.

There is also an EU part-time widening access bursary.
