Started studying in 2019

At Brighton we provide a range of bursaries which are carefully targeted at students who most need financial help.

Remember: you do not have to pay back university bursaries. You can use the funds  to help you cover the cost of tuition, books, university accommodation, travel, study aids, childcare and more.

Your eligibility for these bursaries will be re-assessed each academic year.

Bursaries

The University of Brighton expects to provide £2.5 million worth of support to eligible lower-income students in 2019. This support is part of an annual investment of over £9.4 million that the university is making in support of widening access.

Our University of Brighton bursaries support eligible students on undergraduate courses, pre-registration nursing and allied health courses at both postgraduate and undergraduate level; non-salaried designated PGCE courses. Students on part-time courses who meet the criteria will receive a pro rata cash bursary.
