Living costs

Aberystwyth has an advantage over many other universities in that it is located in a small town in Wales, and the cost of living is considerably lower than in large cities in the rest of Britain. Living costs are funded by loans, and the level given by the Student Loans Company depends upon parental income.

Travel costs

Travel costs in excess of allowance in the loan cannot be reclaimed from the local authority. Thus students who live in accommodation on or near the campus can make considerable savings through not having to travel daily. Students at Aberystwyth are particularly fortunate in that the University has accommodation in Aberystwyth for all students and that there is an ample supply of rented accommodation available in the town.

Ways to pay

Information on how to pay for your programme can be found in the Student Fees Handbook. You can view this document via our Finance Office’s Information for Current & Prospective Students webpage. See Student Finance for details.
