Undergraduate students - Student Finance
Tuition Fee Loans are obtained from Student Finance England and are used to pay the cost of your tuition fees.
You apply for a Tuition Fee Loan through Student Finance England; please refer to the website here to check deadlines and eligibility.
Tuition Fee Loans are paid back after you finish your course and you are earning over £27,295 a year, £2,274 a month or £524 a week (before tax and other deductions).
Students eligible for the Undergraduate Loan can be awarded:
- A loan of up to £9250 to cover the tuition fees for the academic year
- A loan of up to £12,667 to help with living expenses – the amount you can borrow will depend on your family's finances
