Is QMU right for you ? All you need to know before applying
Student fees and funding
The types of financial support available to you will vary according to where you live , what you are intending to study , your family circumstances and whether you have previously received funding as a student .
In addition to the financial support highlighted on these pages , many students supplement their income via part-time employment during their studies .
While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this section , due to printing deadlines , it is important that you confirm the up-to-date financial support arrangements with your relevant funding body ( see following column ). The following figures relate to 2022 entry for students from Scotland , England , Wales and Northern Ireland unless otherwise stated . There may be changes to student funding arrangements for 2023 and it is important that you check our website and that of your funding body for additional information . If you have any questions , please contact the Student Funding Adviser .
Funding bodies
All UK students apply to the funding body where they are resident . The funding bodies are listed below .
Student Awards Agency for Scotland ( SAAS ) W : www . saas . gov . uk

Students from Scotland Tuition fees
Students ordinarily resident in Scotland have their tuition fees paid for them . You must apply each year to the SAAS to have your fees paid . Your entitlement to tuition fee and bursary support may be affected if you have already undertaken degree level studies and you should consult with SAAS for further guidance .
Living costs
For all courses ( other than Nursing and Paramedic Science degrees ) you will be entitled to living cost support from SAAS in the form of a loan and , depending on household income , also a bursary . For young students ( typically those under the age of 25 and not self-supporting ) the non-repayable Young Students ’ Bursary is worth up to £ 2,000 per year depending on household income . Students with a household income of less than £ 21,000 per annum will receive the full bursary and a student loan of £ 5,750 per year giving a total income of £ 7,750 . Those with a household income of £ 34,000 per annum or more will not receive a bursary but can apply for a loan of £ 4,750 per year .
There is no difference between the funding available to a student living at home and those living away from home . You must apply to SAAS each year for living cost support .
There are separate systems of financial support for mature and independent students . Please see the SAAS website .
Students studying Nursing and Paramedic Science
Any student from Scotland studying these courses can apply to SAAS for a non-repayable bursary of £ 10,000 per annum ( a lower rate applies in the shorter final year of the nursing degree ). This bursary is non-meanstested , meaning that all students who apply for the bursary will receive the same amount regardless of household income . See the SAAS website for any further changes to funding for entry in 2023 .
Your entitlement to tuition fee and bursary support may be affected if you have already undertaken degree level studies and you should consult with SAAS for further guidance . Nursing and Paramedic Science students are not entitled to apply for a Student Loan .
