Tuition Fees

Tuition fees cover the cost of your course. For eligible UK students, the government pays a tuition fee loan directly to the university, so you won't need to pay anything upfront.

All UK full-time students can apply for a tuition fee loan regardless of household income. If you normally live in England, you'll need to apply through Student Finance England, who will assess your eligibility and that of your chosen course before paying your tuition fees directly to the university.

If you normally live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, different student finance arrangements apply.

Full-time tuition fees apply for the relevant academic year, while part-time fees are charged per 20 credits studied unless otherwise stated. UK tuition fees are subject to annual increases in line with the UK Retail Price Index (RPI) inflation rate and any increases permitted by the UK Government.

A maintenance loan is paid directly to you. This is to help with living costs like accommodation, food and travel. The amount you receive will depend on your household income and whether you live away or at home.

Your maintenance loan will be based on your parents' income up to the age of 25, unless:

• You're married or in a civil partnership

• You care for a person aged under 18

• You have been financially independent for three years

• You spent at least 13 weeks in foster care before you turned 16

• You've had no contact with your parents for over a year

That means even if you've moved out, your maintenance loan may still be based on your parents' income up to the age of 25.

You should apply for your student loan as soon as you've applied to study at university. The application process varies depending on where you live in the UK.

For full details and to submit an application visit the relevant website below:

• Students living in England

• Students living in Northern Ireland

• Students living in Scotland

• Students living in Wales

If you are aged 25 or over when your course starts, you are usually classed as an independent student. This means your maintenance loan will not be based on your parents’ household income.

Instead, your entitlement is assessed based on your own circumstances. If you have a spouse, civil partner or live with a partner, their income may be taken into account. Your parents’ income is not included.

If you have previously studied at university and had student finance, this could affect how many years of tuition fee loans you are entitled to.

You're allowed an additional year of tuition fee loans. That means if you are completing a three year degree, you could get up to four years of funding. However, any previous years of study will be subtracted from that.

For example, if you're applying for a three year degree but previously completed two years of another degree, you'll only be entitled to a maximum of two further years of tuition fee loans.

This does not apply to NHS funded courses.

If you stopped your previous degree for serious personal reasons (such as pregnancy, illness or bereavement), you may still be able to get funding for your full course. Visit the GOV.UK website to find out more.
