Funding further study Why further study?

If you plan to study a postgraduate qualification, and you haven’t completed postgraduate study before, you may be eligible for government funding support. The availability of funding and eligibility criteria will vary depending on where you live and where you plan to study.

See our Postgraduate fees and funding page, select your country of residence, and use the Finance Finder to see what funding options are available to you for OU study.

For further information on different types of postgraduate funding for study outside the OU and Disabled Students’ Allowances take a look at Funding postgraduate study on the Prospects website.
