Funding, scholarships
and loans
We want to ensure that
you know about the
main sources of
funding available for
your studies at QMU.
It is important to recognise that access
to postgraduate funding can be complex
and so it is essential to consider your
funding options fully prior to committing
to a course of study. These pages cover
the current funding sources but these
could change and it is important that you
consult our website at www.qmu.ac.uk/

Postgraduate loans
Scottish & EU students
A postgraduate student funding package
of up to £10,000 is available. This
comprises a tuition fee loan of £5,500
and a living cost support loan of £4,500
