Tuition Fee Loans
Most students apply for a student loan to cover the cost of their tuition. These are provided by the Student Loans Company. These loans cover the cost of your course and are paid directly to your course provider.
Student loans are repayable once you have finished your course and you are earning a salary above the criteria set by the Student Loan Company.
Maintenance Loans
Maintenance loans can be applied for at the same time as tuition fee loans. These are designed to help with living costs whilst studying at university, such as rent, books, food, travel, etc.
The amount you can borrow depends on your individual circumstances.
For more information about maintenance loans, visit the UCAS Website.
