Funding your studies

There are a number of different ways you can fund your studies at BU, and we have a team of advisers who can help you explore your options and answer any questions you may have.

Pay by instalments

You can pay your fees in two instalments online using a debit/credit card. This option is available for all postgraduate students, whether you are studying on a full or part-time basis. UK students who have been awarded a Postgraduate Master's Loan or Postgraduate Doctoral Loan can also choose to pay their fees in four instalments.

Fees and funding

If you are a UK or Irish national or have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme or indefinite leave to remain so there are no restrictions on how long you can stay, you may be eligible to apply to the UK Government for a non means-tested loan (currently up to £11,836 for 2022/23 entry). You can use the money towards your tuition fees, your living costs, or other costs associated with your study.
