Funding your studies can be difficult at times and even more so during the Covid-19 pandemic. If you’re struggling with the practicalities of paying your rent, travelling to campus, or needing additional resources for uni, there may be financial support available to you. The BU Financial Support web pages are a great resource, with information on additional financial support for students on placement and those who may be facing financial difficulty. There is also information on external funding and additional sources of funding for postgraduate students.
