This section explains 2012 undergraduate fees at The University of Manchester and the sources of funding that may be available to you. You can help fund your studies with both government support and, depending upon your household income, University of Manchester scholarships and bursaries. Don't forget that a tuition fee loan is available to cover the cost of your fees and you only start to pay it back once you are earning over £21,000 per year.
At The University of Manchester more than a third of all students who successfully apply to study here will receive bursaries of up to £3,000 per year and many students will be offered even more generous support. Eligible students will be able to choose how they receive this support – either as a cash bursary or as a discount on their fees or accommodation bill. Our detailed breakdown of the various choices around student finance will help you to decide which options are right for you.
