Fees and Financial Support – University Programmes

You can see the full cost of our Higher Education courses in the tables below, though you could benefit from a range of funding options to support you.

Tuition fee loans for UK and EU full-time students

You can apply for a government loan through Student Finance England to cover your tuition fees and will only have to pay it back once you are earning £25,000 a year.

Maintenance Loans for living costs

You can also apply for a maintenance loan to help pay for your living costs, if you are a full-time UK student with a household income below £25,000 or you are from a family with an income above £25,000. Contact Student Finance England to find out more.
