Scholarships and Bursaries - Funding Opportunities

We believe postgraduate study should be accessible, and we understand that the cost of your studies is one of the most important factors when deciding on a postgraduate degree. That’s why we offer a wide range of scholarships, bursaries, and financial support. UK/settled EU students can also access Postgraduate Government Funding — paid directly to you to help with fees and living costs.

Study in a Place You'll Love

Not many students can say they have the beach on their doorstep, but at Swansea, it's part of everyday life. Whether you're taking a break between lectures, going for a sunset walk, or spending weekends exploring the coastline, living by the sea brings a balance that's hard to find elsewhere.

With the Gower Peninsula– Britain's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and Swansea city centre both within easy reach, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds on your postgraduate journey: stunning natural surroundings, a vibrant city, all while studying on a campus that is conducive to your learning and success.
