What it covers
For the 2027 academic year, the official call says bursary funds cover the cost of modules. The linked bursary policy states that support may cover registration costs or part of them, normally up to 50%, with higher awards possible at the committee’s discretion. Applicants remain responsible for any uncovered costs and applicable additional fees. An application does not guarantee an award.
