Fees and Funding

It is very important that you have sufficient funds in place to meet your tuition fees and living costs before you start your course. The University has a small amount of hardship funding available to help students who started their studies with a sound financial plan which was compromised by circumstances beyond their control, but it is unable to help students who started their studies with insufficient funds in place to meet their tuition fees and living costs.

Students who are in financial hardship may apply to the University Student Support Fund. The Student Support Team is your initial point of contact in relation to applications to the Student Support Fund. To set up an appointment, please email [email protected] or book online using Student Connect.

There are also a number of awards and bursaries available to members of Van Mildert College, but these are primarily aimed at supporting a variety of broader personal development opportunities. Information about these opportunities is sent to students via email throughout the academic year. For initial enquiries about the range of student scholarships and bursaries available, please contact [email protected].

Various optional charges are also available to you as a new student at Van Mildert College.

An investment in your future

Durham’s high graduate employability combined with a lower cost of living in the North-East make studying for a degree at Durham a sound financial investment. We also offer a range of scholarships to support new eligible undergraduates.
