EU student bursary

About this bursary 

This bursary is for full-time first year students normally resident in EU countries other than the UK who started their course in 2016. It supports students from lower-income families and is funded by the university.

You do not need to repay a University of Brighton bursary. It is paid in the first year of your course only.

Additional financial support

Depending on your circumstances, you could be eligible to receive further bursaries and financial support from the University of Brighton in subsequent years of study.

Who is eligible 

To be eligible to apply for this bursary you must:

• be in the first year of an undergraduate course
• be normally resident in an EU country other than the UK and have been assessed as eligible to receive a tuition fee loan from Student Finance England
• have a household income up to and including the equivalent of £25,000 a year.

Your eligibility for the bursary may be affected if you already have a degree or other higher education qualification, or if you are studying for another qualification at the same or a lower level.

Your eligibility for this bursary will be re-assessed each academic year.

Exceptions

Nursing, midwifery and allied health professions (AHP) courses have different tuition fee and funding arrangements. Students on these courses do not qualify for the University of Brighton bursary.

Some social work students are eligible to receive NHS bursaries in years 2 and 3 of their courses. Social work students who receive these bursaries are not eligible for the University of Brighton bursary either.

How to apply 

Please make sure you do the following:

• Apply for your student funding as soon as possible.
• Once your tuition fee loan has been agreed and you have been notified, please contact Student Finance England EU Team to request a bursary application form.

We will email you in the autumn to confirm whether you will receive this bursary for the academic year.
