The award will be £13,500 per annum for maintenance, plus fees at the HEU rate charged to students from the European Union. Other students will be required to contribute the difference between this rate and the Overseas rate, approximately £6,000 per annum. As a guide, a single student living in Nottingham in 2006/07 will need a minimum of £700 per month to cover basic living expenses such as accommodation costs, heating, food, daily travel, books, equipment and other necessities.
