As you consider studying a Master’s degree or MBA with us at UCL, it’s important to also consider how you will fund your studies. Many students combine personal resources with Master’s or MBA scholarships, bursaries and student loans.
The information provided on this page sets out some options for funding your studies to help you decide on the best way to manage your finances.
Scholarships
University College London is pleased to offer a range of scholarships across all programmes. Postgraduate scholarships are typically awarded to our most talented students across a range of categories. We strongly encourage applicants wishing to obtain scholarships to apply early in order to have the best chance of receiving one.
Programme-specific scholarships
We are delighted to announce that we will be introducing programme-specific scholarships for all of our Postgraduate Taught Programmes for 2025 entry. More information about the types of scholarships available for each programme will be made available in March 2025, so please bookmark this webpage for more information.
Scholarships open to all programmes
Financing your studies
Many students choose to supplement their own personal funds and/or scholarships with student loans.
What are the potential costs?
Each student’s journey through their studies will be different and there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to costs as each student will prioritise different things according to their own needs.
Typically students will need to consider the following categories of costs:
- Tuition fees
- Any additional costs for materials, trips and visits
- Cost of accommodation in London
- Transport around London
- Food
- Extracurricular activities with UCL or the UCL Students Union
- Exploring London
