Deciding to study at university is an investment in your future. There are many studies that confirm that graduates, on the whole, earn more over the course of their working life than non-graduates.
It’s important, though, that you consider how much it will cost to study at University and what funding is available to help you achieve your goals.
You will pay tuition fees for all our courses and these vary depending on the type, level and location of the course you are studying. You will also need to consider accommodation, living and travel costs as part of this.
There is a wide range of financial support available to you through Student Finance England and potentially other external sources. The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø also offers a number of scholarships and bursaries to make studying easier.
Eligibility and entitlement to Government Funding can be based on your household income, what you are studying, and how you choose to study. Below is what is available:
If you are having difficulty managing your finances whilst studying at university, we can help you work through your problems with budgeting and money management sessions. Learn how to manage your finances and avoid getting into debt. We act as a referral agency allowing you to get in touch with the right people.
Before starting higher education, it’s important to think about the costs you’re likely to face and how to manage your money.
You’ll receive your maintenance support in termly instalments. This will need to be budgeted for on-going costs such as accommodation, insurance, fuel costs, TV licence, food and drink, travel, sports, leisure and social activities, mobile phone and internet. If you’d like more information about budgeting please contact our student funding team: studentfunding@bolton.ac.uk
