I know this is a very personal question and i will understand if i have no replies. But i was wondering if any of you out there in the same situation as myself could give me a idea (on a monthly basis) of the total amount of financial help you get. I am a mum of 2 with a mortgage and a well paid husband. My current job is well paid but if i go for this university course obviously we will be living off my husbands wages plus what ever help i get. I just need to work out if it will be possible to pay all the bills!
I tried out the Bursary calculator on the university website which said i would get less than £1000 per annum. Is this right?

Many thanks

Jayne.

Hi Jayne

If you are applying for the degree the bursary payment is means tested, which is what you probably found on the bursary calculator on your Unis website. Did it take account of child care costs etc? travel?

I don't think it mentioned child care, but as my girls are looked after by my husband and my inlaws i don't think i would get anything.

Although the campus that the course is on does have a good nursery, so maybe i could put my youngest in there?

Not sure if it helps or not, but I am on my own, no childcare costs, no mortgage, and I got a basic bursary of £4.388 a year.

On top of that you can apply for a student loan of £2.210 per year, this is paid in 3 instalments.
