Your Money

HOW WILL I PAY? You are not expected to pay for your fees upfront. The Student Loans Company will pay your fees for you, which you only pay back after you graduate and start earning over £26,575 a year (from April 2020). The amount you pay back is linked to the amount you earn.

WHO CAN APPLY FOR STUDENT FINANCE? If you’re starting a course on or after 1 August 2021, you must have settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme to get student finance.
