If you are thinking about starting a course, and perhaps moving away from home for the first time, it’s a good idea to plan ahead and to be aware of the costs involved in advance.
Our Funding Booklet for 2011 is aimed at students and parents to help give them a brief overview/introduction to what student support there is available depending on which part of the UK you live in. It is also useful for EU students to help clarify their eligibility to funding and benefits whilst studying in Scotland. It is not in any way an exhaustive source of information, and useful contacts and websites have been included at the end of the booklet.
The University provides a friendly and supportive environment with staff that can provide up-to-date advice and guidance. The Advisory Service offers drop-in sessions for students, the details of which are listed on the front of this booklet. Alternatively appointments can be made outwith these times by telephoning Student Services Reception.
The Student Advisers can provide advice and information sessions to students relating to funding, academic issues and also other 'welfare' related issues.
We can also liaise with outside agencies on behalf of students in relation to individual queries, for example Student Awards Agency for Scotland, Local Authorities (England & Wales), Library Boards (Northern Ireland) and the Student Loans Company.
We are here to help support you in your academic and professional development by providing advice, which is professional, caring, student-centred and accessible. If you are experiencing any difficulties, or you would like advice, please do not hesitate to contact us.
