    Hi just wondering if anyone has ever been successful in getting funding for a postgrad in the Uk...
    Found the course of my dreams but definitely wouldnt be able to afford the fees and accomodation.

    Thanks in advance!

    Was told by SUSI there's no funding for UK courses.

    Hi there,

    Postgraduate Funding can be offered to students attending approved institutions in Ireland (including N. Ireland). Only fees can be awarded to postgraduate students and the level of fees awarded is dependent on income circumstances.

    If anyone has any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

    Kind regards,
    Robbie

    There is some information on funding here

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    There's no centralised funding at postgrad level in the UK even for UK-based students. However there may be bursaries/scholarships available from the college, faculty, philanthropic sources etc. depending on the course. Your best bet is to contact the faculty or admissions office and ask if they know of any/can point you in the right direction.
