The University Halls of Residence are currently able to accommodate all students in their first year. The cost of university self-catering accommodation is around 2,200 for 48 weeks, depending on the precise location. These figures will be subject to inflation in subsequent years. The Accommodation Office will gladly give assistance in finding appropriate private accommodation in the City. We have generally been able to acquire relatively inexpensive accommodation in the City for our married students and their families.
Financial Assistance Finding the money to pay for postgraduate studies is often a serious problem.
There are a number of official and private bodies which offer scholarships and grants, but it can be difficult to find out about them and the qualifications necessary to apply for assistance. It is important to start investigating the financial possibilities and problems at an early stage, long before you come to make a formal application for a particular course. If no single scholarship is available to meet all of your financial needs, it may be possible to gain at least partial assistance from a variety of sources and even to collect enough smaller grants to cover all of your major expenses. In addition to the sources listed below, potential employers may also be prepared to make some contribution to postgraduate study which is of relevance to your future work. The following financial assistance is available through the University of Aberdeen.
