Student Handbook 2023/24

Student Loans

If you have applied for funds from Student Finance, then you will receive the first instalment once you have enrolled fully for the academic year. If your payments do not arrive and you cannot remedy the problem with Student Finance yourself, please contact the Student Enquiry Centre, http://www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/students/sec/ . They will be able to assess for any actions needed by Queen Mary and advise you of the next steps.

Bursaries

Queen Mary Bursaries are assessed using the household income information provided to us from Student Finance.

If you do not wish to take out student funding, such as loans, but still wish to be assessed for a Queen Mary Bursary you will still need to apply for a household income assessment, full details on how to do this are on our website - www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/QMULBursary

Full details of the Queen Mary Bursary, including eligibility, amounts and payment dates can be found on our website - www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/QMULBursary

Queen Mary Financial Assistance Fund

If you have exceptional or unforeseen costs or you are in financial hardship you could be eligible for help from the Financial Assistance Fund.  The fund is there to help any eligible student who has a particular financial need but we cannot meet every application we receive and we cannot always meet all of the costs that you might apply for. 

CCLS Bursary Fund

CCLS has funding to help their students during their studies in London or Paris when they are facing unexpected financial need.  With support provided, up to £1,000 can be given per eligible student. We want to ensure the means to meet the costs of basic needs such as food, accommodation, equipment and travel. The emergency support is provided for students to have the peace of mind to be able to continue with their studies and not to have an unanticipated financial burden that could hinder completing their course and becoming the very best lawyers.

Full details, guidance and an application form can be found on our website - arcs.qmul.ac.uk/QMFinancialAssistanceFund

Dean’s Benevolence Fund

The Dean's Benevolence Fund (DBF) is in place to help students who find themselves in financial difficulties due to unexpected extenuating circumstances.  They may be given a grant or interest-free loan or a combination of both.  However, DBF is not in place to supplement student finance.
