Student Fee's & Finance

The Tuition Fee of the course may vary depending on the institution you wish to study at, as well as
your status in the UK. The course is available for UK/EU & International Students and eligible for Student Loans
Company (SLC) funding to help cover the cost of your tuition fees and other expenses.

If you are an UK/EU citizen or living in the UK on an Indefinite stay, apart from the tuition fees, you
could also receive support from the government via Student Loans Company to cover some living costs while studying.

Tuition fee loans cover the full cost of your course and are paid directly to the course provider.
Maintenance Loan pays for day-to-day living expenses like rent, bills, food and books. Unlike the fees loan,
it's paid directly to your student bank account once a term and you can spend it on anything you like.
Student Finance has to be paid back, however, you only make Student Loan repayments once you've left your course
AND are earning enough. Repayments vary with your salary, and stop altogether if your income drops too low.
Students can also apply for other types of special support grants, such as childcare grants or Disabled
Students' Allowance if eligible.
Moreover, almost all universities offer a selection of student bursaries. These are cash gifts you usually don't
have to repay.
