Funding your study

If you wish to study further, but need some financial support, there are opportunities to get funding. Many universities, research institutes, charities, and government and private organisations provide small grants to study further.

Always check deadlines for any funding applications. This process may be different from the course application and have a much earlier deadline.

Sources of funding

Studying at Brighton 

Many universities offer a discount to its graduates who study further at the same institution. As a former University of Brighton student you may be eligible for a 10% discount in tuition fees plus an added bonus of a 2.5% early payment rebate when you re-enrol onto another course at the university.
