Financial support available from UCA

Students at computer, Architecture studios, UCA Canterbury

To help you with the cost of living during your studies, UCA has a range of scholarships and bursaries designed to support our students.

Unlike Government loans, these are not something you will have to repay at a later date.

The NSP scholarships, UCA bursaries and the Internal Progression Bursary are only available to students starting their first BA (Hons) degree course or two year foundation degree in September 2013.

There are also Creative Scholarships for both new and continuing undergraduate degree students. Please see individual scholarships for the eligibility required to apply for these.

Internal progression bursary 2013/14

We have non-repayable cash bursaries of up to £1,000 available for students progressing from a UCA pre-degree course to a UCA undergraduate course in 2013-14, which are made up of the UCA Bursary and an additional cash loyalty top-up. The value of the bursary depends on your household income:
