Student finance

Parents and supporters of students may be concerned about student finance and the cost of your son or daughter attending university. However, it is important to understand that UK students do not have to find the money for university fees up front – and many students may also be entitled to non-repayable grants and bursaries from the University.

Tuition fees

Most UK students do not have to pay their fees up front while studying – eligible students can take out a tuition fee loan from the government.
