Funding overview - Social work

If you are accepted on to the Social Work course, you will be paying tuition fees.

If you are classed as a Home fee paying student you will be eligible to apply for a non-means-tested bursary to help you meet these fees and contribute to your cost-of-living expenses.

This is available from the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA).

If you have any questions about bursaries or student funding – for instance, if you wish to know whether you will be entitled to a bursary, or how to apply for one – then you should contact the NHSBSA directly.
