UEL Bursary Card
What is the UEL Bursary Card?
The UEL Bursary Card is used as a method of accessing your bursary funds. If you’re a student who has joined since 2006/7, the UEL Bursary Card can help aid your studies by providing funds to purchase your study essentials. You can use your Bursary Card to purchase books, Oyster card top-ups, laptops and much more by using either your Progress Bursary funds (if you are an eligible undergraduate student) or your UEL Postgraduate Bursary funds (if you are a postgraduate student).
Where can I use my Bursary Card?
You can use your Bursary Cards in John Smith’s, your campus bookshop, or online at either of John Smith’s websites:
www.jscampus.co.uk/uel for a full range of books or
www.ueldigital.co.uk for electronic items.
Who is eligible for the UEL Bursary Card?
All students are eligible for a free Bursary Card. You can get a Bursary Card even if you haven’t received a bursary. This means that you, your parent/guardian or anyone that would like to support you in your studies can add money to your card to be used in the John Smith’s bookshop. Please ask staff for details.
How can I get my UEL Bursary Card?
During enrolment John Smith’s will be issuing Bursary Cards at the Docklands Campus, from the Royal Docks Business School Trading Floor.

The shops are open 9am – 5.30pm (later for the first four weeks of the semester). You will need to bring along your UEL Student ID card.
Do I need to get a new Bursary Card each year?
