Welcome Student...
Our project aims to encourage students to think about their future at a critical time when they will make decisions on options such as GCSE’s and A-Levels. We want students to feel supported and prepared to make choices that will influence their future careers.
Both of our helpful links and videos section below are designed to help answer questions about university, give an insight into the life of our university students and inform students of the different opportunities, support, and funding available.

Bursaries and Scholarships
Depending on the university, both bursaries and scholarships will be available for students to apply for. A bursary is a grant where a student is granted the money and does not have to pay the fee back. A scholarship is a grant that is awarded based on either academic achievement or the course they are studying. Both do not have to be repaid if a student is eligible. The amounts can vary depending on the type of scholarship or bursary a student applies for.
