Important Note
Careful research into potential funding opportunities is essential, as is allowing yourself plenty of time to submit applications in advance of any deadlines set by the relevant funding organisation. You will also need to have a firm offer of a place to study on a postgraduate programme before you will be considered for most postgraduate funding awards.
It is therefore important that you apply for your chosen programme of study well in advance of the closing date for any funding applications you intend to make. You can search and browse Cardiff University's postgraduate programmes using our Course Finder database, while full details on how to apply for admission to a postgraduate programme can be found at the Apply Section of our website.
