- Living at university
- We understand that affordability is an important issue when you’re thinking about studying at university.
- The overall cost of university can vary depending on where you’re studying and which course you’re taking. However, some of the main costs you’ll want to think about include:
- accommodation
- bills
- internet, mobile phone and calls
- travel
- food and drink
- socialising and going out
- study materials.
- As a very general guide, living costs at university can range from around £7,000–£9,000 per year. They may be lower if you're living at home. Our Money Advice Service is on hand if you’d like to chat about living costs, budgets and managing your money.
- Most full-time UK students can apply for a Maintenance Loan to help cover living costs.
- EU students starting a course before 1 August 2021 are also eligible for the Maintenance Loan.
Paying for uni: bursaries, sponsorship and working
- We offer a range of ARU scholarships and bursaries, which provide extra financial support while you’re at university. If you're eligible for a scholarship, you'll generally receive it automatically – there's no need to apply.
- Our campus employment bureau, ARU Temps, can help you find part-time work that fits around your studies. It's a great chance to enhance your CV and boost your income while you study.
