Funding availability will depend upon what you want to study and where. Prospects provide a comprehensive guide to funding your postgraduate study. Students looking to study at USW can contact the Student Money Team money@southwales.ac.uk.
Here’s a snapshot of possible funding sources:
• Postgraduate Loans – you can apply for a government-backed postgraduate loan, similar to undergraduate student finance, to help you cover the cost of taking further study.
• Charitable foundations – charities, foundations and trusts often provide awards. The Grants Register is a useful resource to identify funding of this nature.
• Institutional funding – contact the student finance department of the institution that you have chosen to study at – you may be eligible for scholarships or funding schemes they are offering.
• Employer-funded study – if you are in employment find out if your employer is willing to support you to pursue further study.
• Pay your own way – students study part-time allowing them to work in order to earn the money to fund their course.
• UK Research and Innovation – provide funding for research training.
