Funding Postgraduate Study

Although tuition fees for postgraduate study tend to vary from institution to institution and from course to course, they usually run to several thousand pounds. Unfortunately, there is generally no mandatory support for postgraduate study (other than for students enrolled on PGCE courses), although there are a number of sources that postgrad students can apply to in order to ease their financial burden.
