They said the scheme, which will see full-time students receive £170 and part-time students get £85 before the Christmas break in December, will also see the university offer cheaper food options, free microwave and hot water facilities, free showers and free period products.
"We also have wider support in place including wellbeing and further financial support through our Cost of Living Support fund, so would encourage any student that needs our help to please reach out."
