Funding and financial support options

When evaluating how to pay for a postgraduate course leading to a masters degree, students often explore a number of different resources. Below, we’ve outlined some financing options for which you may be eligible to apply.

  • A postgraduate masters loan can help UK residents with course fees and living costs while you study a postgraduate taught course. 

    This loan is non-means tested, which means the amount you can request is not dependent on your or your family’s income. Your loan can be used towards the cost of your programme fees and living expenses.
    For full details and recently awarded loan amounts, visit the UK Government website.

  • Many employers offer benefits such as tuition fee reimbursement and low-cost loans. Check with your manager or human resources team regarding financial assistance for educational programmes.

  • For additional financial assistance, research other education loan lenders to determine if a private loan is best for your situation.

    If you are a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen, you do not qualify for federal student aid or military education benefits for the University of Surrey’s online courses due to the online format.
