Value, benefits, and duration for 2022/23 starters

The value of the bursary depends on a student's household income as assessed by their regional authority (i.e Student Finance England).

Bursary rates are as follows*:

Household income Cash bursary Less than or equal to £16,000 £3,000 More than £16,000 and less than or equal to £25,000 £2,000 More than £25,000 and less than or equal to £37,000 £1,500 More than £37,000 and less than or equal to £42,875 £1,000

The UCL Undergraduate Bursary scheme will be assessed on the basis of household income and residency status. The scheme is open to those with an annual household income of £42,875 or less. The residency status requirements are for new students to be classified as 'home fee status' by UCL and be domiciled (have been ordinarily resident) in the UK for 3 continuous years before their undergraduate course starts.

All part-time UK students studying at a level of at least 25% of the full-time equivalent will be eligible to receive a pro-rata bursary, provided that their household income is £42,875 or less and they meet the residency requirements.

UCL does not restrict the number of bursary awards available to eligible students.
