Alternative Guide to Postgraduate Funding

Queen Mary has a subscription to the Alternative Guide for Postgraduate Funding, which promotes funding opportunities from non-traditional funding sources, such as charities, for any postgraduate student studying in the UK, regardless of subject or nationality.

To access the Alternative Guide as a prospective student (i.e., a student who is not registered at Queen Mary and does not have a QM email address), please follow the instructions below.

1. Email dc-alternativeguide@qmul.ac.uk with the subject line ‘PIN request’
   • Using this subject line should ensure that your email does not get flagged as junk.
2. You will receive an automated reply to your email containing the prospective student PIN and instructions on how to access the guide.

Once you have received the PIN via automated reply:

1. Visit the Alternative Guide gatewaypage and scroll down to see the green ‘Register for a personal username/password’ box.
