Student finance

For many people entering university, money is a major factor to consider. Student finance can be very confusing and we understand that this is an area parents and carers will be particularly interested in.

All students will be required to pay tuition fees, and these vary depending on the course and whether you are a student from the EU or not.

From 2010/11, if you are a home (UK) or EU student applying to study a qualification that is at an equivalent level to, or lower level than one that you have already been awarded, you will be liable to pay the equivalent of the relevant standard international rate of tuition fee.

There is help available for all students who are UK residents to pay for their tuition fees and their maintenance (eg accommodation, food, books etc). In most cases this will take the form of loans and for some students, non-repayable grants or bursaries.
