Fees, Costs and Funding
We offer a number of studentships and bursaries for both Master's and research degrees:
- We have been awarded a number of Block Grant awards from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). For 2012 we expect to have AHRC full studentship awards (maintenance and fees) to offer a number of doctoral studentships and one Master's degree studentship in Cultural Studies, European Language and Culture, History, History of Art, and in Law (within the subject area boundaries of the AHRC) to students registered at one of our institutes and about to start their first year of study.
- We offer two full bursaries for doctoral study which cover tuition fees and a maintenance grant, awarded on a competitive basis to students registered at one of our institutes and about to start their first year of study.
- Some of the institutes also have their own bursaries.

Living and studying in London is an expensive business, but if you budget carefully it helps. UK and international students can find guidance at Student Calculator.
