## Undergraduate funding

Find out about the different types of funding available if you are a UK student.

You can apply for Government [student loans](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/undergraduate-funding-government/doc/student-loans) and funding from the University. You won't need to pay for your study or living costs up front. If you are a deferred student, you will generally need to apply for financial support applicable to your year of entry.

You can also read our [tips on managing your money when you’re at University](https://students.leeds.ac.uk/money-management/doc/managing-money).
