City, University of London Hardship Fund
As part of City's commitment to provide financial assistance for their students in financial hardship, we also have the City, University of London Hardship Fund. The fund provides financial support to all our current students who have met unforeseen financial hardship towards the end of their course.
For many students, this makes all the difference in allowing them to focus on their studies and graduate successfully.

Following Brexit, for the 2021/22 intake all new intake students from the EU will be deemed to be overseas students and will pay the overseas fees.
