Fees and funding for Clearing students

Once you have confirmed your place you need to make sure your student finance is all in order.

Even if you’ve already applied for finance you still need to go through the application again to check details. This applies if:

  • you got your place through Clearing
  • you’re taking up your Insurance choice
  • we offered you a different course
  • you’ve changed your course (e.g. you have changed from a 3 year course to a 4 year course)
  • you’ve moved to a foundation course

The funding you may be eligible for is dependent upon where you reside. Before Term starts it is important that you update your course/university to match your Offer. If Term has started, you will not be able to confirm the changes yourself, please contact the Funding Team via the Brunel Help portal for assistance. Please check the student finance website for your country for further details.
