Doctoral Loan to fund your Postgraduate Research

This information is for UK students who wish to apply to undertake Postgraduate Research, such as a PhD. Carefully check eligibility as terms and conditions apply.

This is an excellent opportunity for students who wish to undertake Postgraduate Research at Northumbria University. The UK Government will provide a Doctoral Loan to help fund your course fees and living costs.

The amount you may be able to apply for will depend on when you started your course:

You have to repay your Doctoral Loan at the same time as any other student loans you have. You’ll be charged interest from the day you get the first payment. Your loan is paid directly into your UK bank account.

Please see the Government Website, which provides step-by-step information about the loan and the application process.
