What you need to know

  • Most UK students studying in the UK won't have to pay upfront for tuition; the cost will be covered by a loan supplied by the Government and paid directly to the institution.
  • Most students can also get a loan to help with living costs from the Government. The exact amount available depends on household income and other circumstances.
  • Part-time students can also access a Government loan to cover the cost of fees if they are studying at least 25% of a full-time course.
  • The application procedure usually opens about six months before the start of your course. You don't need to have a confirmed place to apply for funding, so full-time students should apply as soon as possible.
  • Students only pay back their loan once they have left university and are earning over the threshold (currently £25,000 a year).
  • The repayment process is simple. Payments are normally deducted automatically through the PAYE system.
