Postgraduate taught

Funding opportunities for postgraduate taught courses are very limited. Students wishing to study for a taught Masters degree need to secure the majority of their funding before beginning their studies. Most students studying taught Masters courses opt to take out a bank loan and/or use savings.

Undergraduate prizes

Top students are recognised with faculty and subject-specific prizes.

Many prizes are kindly sponsored by industrial partners.
