The University has limited funds for assisting students to finance their university studies.
We are therefore grateful to those donors who give money to the University for this
purpose and to those who provide their own financial aid programmes
The University has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information in its
handbooks. However, we reserve the right at any time, if circumstances dictate, to (i)
make alterations or changes to any of the published details of the opportunities on offer;
or (ii) add to or withdraw any of the opportunities on offer. Our students are given every
assurance that changes to opportunities will only be made under compelling
circumstances and students will be fully informed as soon as possible
