We want to help you with the costs of undertaking your career related work experience. This is why the Careers Service has a dedicated bursary fund which is open to full-time undergraduate students.
Am I eligible?
Take a look at the points below to see if you qualify. You must be:
- a full time undergraduate;
- a UK or international undergraduate;
- considering work experience that contributes to your personal development, your skills development and supports your future career aspirations.
For final year undergraduates only, you must be able to complete your work experience by the end of June 2026.
Students can apply for up to £250 in each academic year.
If you are a student who is in receipt of:
- the full maintenance loan to support your studies
- and/or the Manchester Bursary
- and/or Undergraduate Access Scholarship from the university,
you are also eligible to apply for an additional £750, and therefore up to a maximum of £1,000 in each academic year. If you are unsure of your financial status please refer to the student support funding pages.
