Postgraduate support
If you are on a postgraduate diploma or master’s course in Wales, you may get a non-means-tested graduate bursary of £6,640 in 2021/22, intended as a contribution towards tuition fees. You can apply for the adult dependants’ grant, the parents’ learning allowance and the childcare grant at the same time as the additional graduate bursary, although these are means tested and paid at lower rates than for undergraduates. You can also get a practice learning opportunity allowance, as for undergraduates (see above).
If you have a disability, you may be eligible for extra help through the postgraduate
disabled students’ allowance (see
here).
Note: if you receive a bursary from Social Care Wales, you are ineligible to apply for loans under the Postgraduate Master’s Finance scheme from Student Finance Wales (or the equivalent scheme from Student Finance England).
