We recognise that for many applicants, accessing financial and social support whilst studying is a key consideration. As Social Work students have access to both loans (which have to be paid back) and bursaries (which do not), it can be confusing to understand your options. Please read the more detailed information below about what support is available in year 1 and years 2 & 3 of the programme, including the NHS Bursary.
Your country of residence is important for determining what government loans or bursaries you might be eligible for. You can look more into student funding in Scotland and social work bursaries in Wales if these are relevant, but this funding may or may not be available for studying at Lancaster. Some of the funding detailed below may be applicable for some EU students – please check relevant links for details.
