Financial support for Refugees

If you become an undergraduate student and you have refugee status, humanitarian protection or granted leave under the Ukraine Schemes, you will be offered the same means-tested support we offer other financially vulnerable groups. If you are applying to become a postgraduate taught student and you have Refugee or Humanitarian Protection status you will be eligible for the same support as is provided to Home postgraduate taught students. That is access to government loans and to other University and external funding opportunities, subject to eligibility criteria being met. If you are an Asylum Seeker in the UK and applying for a postgraduate taught programme, you can apply for a Sanctuary Scholarship which provides a fee waiver covering the full cost of tuition fees, and a bursary towards living costs. Sanctuary Scholarships are limited each year and there is no guarantee you will be made an award. We also have a limited number of free Duolingo English language tests available for postgraduate taught and research offer holders who hold one of these statuses.If you are a refugee, asylum seeker, have humanitarian protection and/or Discretionary Leave to Remain, Imroze or Joanna will provide personal support throughout your programme and ensure you are aware of the support offered across the University such as from the Skills Centre and Careers Service. They can be contacted by phone or email or if you are a current student you can book an appointment online via MySkills.
