Postgraduate Student Finance Doctoral Applications Are Now Open!


Are you applying for a postgraduate Doctoral course in 2022 to 2023? You can now apply for your student finance.

We’ve teamed up with Student Finance England (SFE) and Student Finance Wales (SFW) to give you some tips on applying. Here’s everything you need to know:


#1 Apply online as early as possible

It’s quick and easy to apply online – it should only take you around 30 minutes. Make sure you apply as soon as possible so your funding is ready for the start of your course. It can take up to 6 weeks to process your student finance application, so if your application is late, then your money might be too.

If you’ve had funding from SFE or SFW before, you can use your existing online account to apply. Otherwise, you’ll need to create an account. Don’t worry if you’ve not got a confirmed place at uni or college yet, you can apply using the details for your preferred course and change them later if you need to!

Remember, if you’re a continuing student you do not need to re-apply for funding. You should expect an entitlement letter for the new academic year around 6 weeks before the start of the new term. Sign in to your online account to make sure all of your contact details are up to date.

#2 Find out what funding is available

You could get help with your course fees and living costs while you study a postgraduate Doctoral course. The funding differs depending on where you live.

You could get:

  • A loan of up to £27,892 from SFE
  • A loan of up to £27,880 from SFW

There’s extra help available for students with a disability, head over to Student Finance England or Student Finance Wales to find out more!

Mae’r cyfnod i wneud cais am gyllid myfyrwyr ar gyfer Doethuriaeth ôl-raddedig ar agor yn awr!

Ydych chi’n gwneud cais ar gyfer cwrs Doethurol ôl-raddedig yn 2022 i 2023? Gallwch wneud cais am eich cyllid myfyrwyr yn awr.

Rydym wedi ymuno â Cyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru a Cyllid Myfyrwyr Lloegr i gynnig ambell air o gyngor ynghylch gwneud cais am gyllid. Dyma’r wybodaeth y mae angen i chi ei chael:

#1 Gwneud cais ar-lein mor gynnar ag sy’n bosibl

Gallwch wneud cais yn gyflym ac yn hawdd ar-lein – dim ond tua 30 munud y dylai ei gymryd. Gwnewch yn siŵr eich bod yn gwneud cais cyn gynted ag sy’n bosibl fel bod eich cyllid yn barod ar gyfer dechrau eich cwrs. Gall gymryd hyd at 6 wythnos i brosesu eich cais am gyllid myfyrwyr, felly os bydd eich cais yn hwyr gallai eich arian gyrraedd yn hwyr hefyd.

Os ydych wedi cael cyllid o’r blaen gan Cyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru neu Cyllid Myfyrwyr Lloegr, gallwch ddefnyddio eich cyfrif ar-lein presennol i wneud cais. Fel arall, bydd angen i chi greu cyfrif. Peidiwch â phoeni os nad oes lle wedi’i gadarnhau ar eich cyfer mewn prifysgol neu goleg. Gallwch wneud cais gan ddefnyddio manylion y cwrs yr ydych yn ei ffafrio a’u newid yn nes ymlaen os oes angen!

Cofiwch, os ydych yn fyfyriwr sy’n parhau gyda Cyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru neu Cyllid Myfyrwyr Lloegr, ni fydd angen i chi wneud cais o’r newydd am gyllid. Dylech ddisgwyl cael llythyr hysbysiad o hawl ar gyfer y flwyddyn academaidd newydd tua 6 wythnos cyn dechrau’r tymor newydd. Mewngofnodwch i’ch cyfrif ar-lein i wneud yn siŵr bod eich holl fanylion cyswllt wedi’u diweddaru.

#2 Cael gwybod pa gyllid sydd ar gael

Gallech gael help gyda ffïoedd eich cwrs a’ch costau byw tra byddwch yn astudio cwrs Doethuriaeth ôl-raddedig. Bydd y cyllid yn gwahaniaethu, yn dibynnu ar ble’r ydych yn byw.

Gallech gael:

  • benthyciad gwerth hyd at £27,880 gan Cyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru
  • benthyciad gwerth hyd at £27,892 gan Cyllid Myfyrwyr Lloegr

Mae help ychwanegol ar gael ar gyfer myfyrwyr sydd ag anabledd. Ewch i wefan Cyllid Myfyrwyr Cymru neu Cyllid Myfyrwyr Lloegr i gael gwybod mwy!

#3 Chwilio am ddiweddariadau ar gyfryngau cymdeithasol

Rydym yn rhoi negeseuon ar Facebook a Twitter yn gyson, felly beth am ein dilyn er mwyn cael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf bob amser?
