Our Undergraduate Support & Success Promise

We are committed to helping you succeed; from the moment you join us to the moment you achieve your ambitions. Our Undergraduate Support & Success Promise brings together financial support, unlimited careers guidance and real-world experience. From bursaries and paid work experience to free language learning, every part of your journey is designed to build your confidence, strengthen your employability and ensure you graduate ready for success.

 

Financial support when you need it most

We understand the rising cost of living can create real barriers to starting university. That’s why we offer financial support with our Undergraduate Bursary to help you begin your studies with confidence. Eligible new undergraduates starting in September 2026 or January 2027 can receive up to £1,500* in their first year, with further support available in later years depending on household income. Our bursary is open to UK-resident students with a household income of up to £50,000, ensuring our help reaches more students than ever.

Our Work Ready Promise**

We’re so confident you’ll be career ready that if you don’t secure a job in nine months after successfully completing your course, we’ll give you 50% off one of our other courses, which could mean a saving of more than £9,000.

If you’re not interested in continuing your studies, we’re still committed to helping you improve your skills and knowledge to fulfil your ambitions, so you can choose a 4-week paid internship with our Employability Service instead. This is a great way to enhance your CV and gain hands-on work experience.
