Cost of living support

Helping someone manage their money might be particularly daunting, especially at the moment. So, as well as our existing funds and bursaries, we’ve introduced some specific support.

Having been both parent and teacher, I totally understand that as an institution, it is our job to provide influencers with as much information as possible to guide students to make the right decisions for them. We understand that understanding the options available and what value a degree will have is important.
