Funding Opportunities
UoB 10% Family Postgraduate Discount (2026/27)
The University of Bradford recognizes the importance of supporting its staff members and their immediate families by offering a 10% tuition fee discount to postgraduate students. This discount applies to both postgraduate taught and postgraduate research programs for immediate family members of University staff, including spouse or partner, children, parents, and siblings. Recipients must be enrolled and self-funding to receive the discount. Students can only receive one scholarship or discount, and those eligible for multiple awards will be given the award of the highest value. The discount is applied upon enrolment after eligibility is established through contact with the scholarships office.
Undergraduate Bursary Scheme (2026/27)
The University of Bradford is committed to helping students from all backgrounds access higher education. In 2026/27 the university is offering a cash bursary to all Home students whose family incomes are under £40,000 a year. The bursary provides financial support to eligible undergraduate students studying full-time at the University of Bradford. Payment amounts increase progressively through the years of study: £500 in Year 1, £600 in Year 2, and £700 in Year 3 and subsequent years. Bursaries are paid annually in the last week of March directly into the student's bank account via the Student Loans Company. Students are automatically assessed for eligibility using information from the Student Loans Company, so no separate application is required. However, students must be financially assessed by the relevant student finance service by 31 July 2027 to receive the bursary for the 2026/27 academic year.
Postgraduate Bursary (2026/27)
The University of Bradford Postgraduate Bursary is a financial support program designed to assist UK and EU students pursuing full-time postgraduate studies. This bursary is specifically targeted at students who received means-tested financial support during their undergraduate studies, demonstrating the University's commitment to ensuring that postgraduate education remains accessible to students from lower-income backgrounds. The bursary is available for both taught Master's programs and research postgraduate programs. To qualify for this bursary, applicants must be paying their own fees and must have graduated from their undergraduate degree within the last 10 years. A key eligibility requirement is that applicants must have received either a full maintenance grant from their Local Authority or Student Loans Company in their final year of undergraduate study, or for those who commenced studies from September 2015 onwards, a full means-tested maintenance loan from the Student Loans Company. EU students are eligible only if they completed their undergraduate degree in England. The bursary operates on a straightforward application process where eligible students can request an application form by contacting the university's bursary office. For research program students, the bursary can be received for a maximum of three payments. The application deadline for the 2026/27 academic year is 31 July 2027. Students should note that only one discount or bursary from the University can be claimed, meaning recipients cannot combine this bursary with other university awards such as the Alumni fee discount. This financial support scheme reflects the University of Bradford's dedication to supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds in pursuing advanced degrees, helping to remove financial barriers that might otherwise prevent capable students from continuing their education at the postgraduate level.
