This information applies to students receiving funding through a scholarship scheme managed by the Department or the university.
Funded students information
- Setting up your bursary payments
- UK bank accounts
- Overseas bank accounts
- Externally sponsored students
Payments can begin only after:
You have met the conditions of your offer.
You have formally accepted your offer through My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.
You have added your bank details under the Student Funding tab in My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.
You have completed online registration.
Bursaries are normally paid on or around the seventh day of each month. October is the only month in which bursary payments are scheduled weekly.
Please allow at least two weeks for a bursary payment request to be processed. We advise having your own means of support for the first six weeks of study in case of delays.
The EEE Postgraduate Research Officer is your first point of contact for questions about your funding.
Student bursaries are normally paid into UK bank accounts. You should add your UK bank details to My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ as soon as possible.
We recognise that newly arrived international students may not be able to open a UK bank account immediately.
As a temporary measure, payment may be made into an overseas account, subject to the following conditions:
The account must belong to you, or to a parent or another person whose identity and connection to you can be verified.
The bursary team will require the name and address of the bank, the name and address of the account holder, the SWIFT code and the account number or IBAN.
This information must be sent from your ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ email address.
Once you have opened a UK account, you must add its details to My ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and ask the bursary team to discontinue the overseas payments.
Overseas payments take longer and the amount received may vary because of exchange rates.
If you are externally sponsored, please could you send a copy of your sponsorship letter to the EEE Postgraduate Office when you upload a copy to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.
