Self-funding students

You may have to cover the cost of your tuition fees privately, as well as making full provisions for your living costs.

Possible sources of funding open to you as a self-funding student are as follows:

Savings

If you have savings you could use those to help fund your postgraduate study.

Studentships

British Council Awards

The British Council offers a number of awards for international students studying in the UK. Details can be obtained from the nearest regional office in your country of residence.

Find out more by visiting the British Council website.

Student Support Funds

Full- and part-time UK and EU postgraduate students can apply for additional help from Kingston University's Student Support Funds. Awards are means-tested and you will need to provide evidence of how you will support yourself. As a general rule, you will be expected to have secured the majority of your funding before you can apply for additional funds.

For further information or if you have queries about financial support for postgraduate students, please email studentfunding@kingston.ac.uk.
