Student hardship funds
Our own hardship funds are providing immediate support to those students who require financial assistance at this time. The University has taken steps to increase these funds but we still require more if we are able to help all those in crisis. Please consider making a gift to support our student community.

"The response in Scotland and the rest of the UK in rising to help Ukrainian refugees at this horrific time is remarkable. Students, staff and friends are coming together to do their bit including collecting much needed donations. We're proud to stand with our European brothers and sisters".
