Studying with the University of London is one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. Our degrees, diplomas and certificates are among the most respected anywhere in the world. When you graduate you will have a qualification that’s recognised worldwide for its quality and value.
While no financial assistance is available from the University, many students receive financial support from their own employers – in both the public and private sector. It would certainly be worth asking your employer if they would consider offering such assistance. Our student registry can offer advice on what you need to do once you've obtained financial assistance. They can be contacted at: external.registry@lon.ac.uk

Dependent on nationality, employment circumstances and other factors, funding and sponsorship sources can include:
Prospective students are advised to approach their local British Council, British High Commission or British Embassy, for information on local funding.
There are only a small number of funding sources relative to the number of students looking for help. The level of competition for sponsorship and educational awards is generally extremely high, and students are encouraged to investigate funding possibilities early on. We suggest, however, that students do not delay in making their application for their course- in some instances a firm offer of a place can in fact be advantageous in a funding application.
Other possible sources of funding which you may be interested in exploring include:
Please note: we are unable to provide an exhaustive list of all available funding, nor can we assist prospective students in finding funding sources. We encourage prospective students to investigate for themselves.
