• Loans

  For Access Courses, if you are aged 19 or over, you can cover the cost of tuition fees with an Advanced Learner Loan.  Loan eligibility doesn’t depend on your income and there are no credit checks. Repayments don’t begin until you finish the course and are earning at least £21,000. If you complete an Access to HE Diploma and then go on to complete a degree your Advanced Learner Loan will be written off.

  For BSc and FdSc courses a Tuition Fee Loan is available to cover the full cost of your tuition, and you only start to pay it back when you are earning over £21,000 per year. You do not have to pay for your course upfront. Loans are available here

  There is also a maintenance loan available to any full-time student to help with living costs such as rent. This does have to be repaid but not until your course has finished and you’re earning more than £21,000 a year.

• Postgraduate Loans for Master's Degrees

  If you start a full-time or part-time master’s course after 1 August 2017 you can apply for a Postgraduate Loan. You’ll be able to borrow up to £10,280 to pay your fees and help with living costs. Find out more here

• Additional costs associated with courses

  Trips and fees that are required in order to complete a course of study will be covered by the College as part of the tuition fees for full time students. BSc (Hons) and MSc students can apply for a grant (up to £250 for BSc (Hons) or £350 for MSc students) to help cover non-travel costs associated with dissertations/ research projects. For part time students the College will reimburse students up to a maximum of £200 to help with annual student subscriptions and entry fees or other reasonable expenses but will not pay for any transport costs associated with a course of study.
