Bursaries and Scholarships for students who started in September 2012-2014

The Manchester Bursary is available to any student who is registered on an eligible* undergraduate degree course here and who has had a full financial assessment carried out by Student Finance.

(*Students on NHS-funded programmes will not be able to access these awards due to their eligibility for NHS support. Students who hold a previous undergraduate degree will be considered for the Manchester Bursary in the same way as students undertaking a degree for the first time. EU students are eligible to apply for the tuition fee discount element of the bursary by emailing funding@manchester.ac.uk).

The Study Abroad/Placement Year support package is an alternative support package for a year when you study abroad or do a placement as part of your course.
