JAYAH MONTROSEWALKLET

World of Sport

“I didn’t think university was for me, but when I visited UA92’s open day, I could instantly see that it was very different to how I imagined university would be - the friendly people, close-knit community and the practical approach to learning made it really appealing to me. So far, I’m loving it - I’m a PM student which means I have the mornings to work, play sports or socialise with friends.

I’m also part of the UA92 Basketball team and even though I’d never played before, everyone was so friendly and welcoming - I love it!”

RAED AHMAD

World of Business

“When looking to study in the U.K, I was immediately attracted to UA92 because of their flexible and innovative approach to studying, in particular the fact that I could apply for an accelerated option, which means I can complete my degree in just two years. I’m also a big football fan and I love that Old Trafford is just a five minute walk from the campus and my accommodation. UA92 has enabled me to challenge myself and I am excited about what the future holds.”

DRE TAYLOR

World of Sport

“I was born and raised in Manchester. Football has always been a big part of my life. I joined the UA92 football team to meet new people and I’m now the captain of the 1st team. There’s so many opportunities at UA92.”

ADRIANA DA SILVA

World of Media

“I moved to Manchester, from Portugal, a few years ago. The first time I visited UA92, I knew it was where I wanted to study. The AM/PM timetable meant I could keep my part-time job and continue to earn while I learn. It gave me the perfect balance.”

DAN HYLAND

World of Sport

“I didn’t think I would go to university. I was leaning towards doing an apprenticeship, so I could earn money. Joining UA92 was one of the best decisions I’ve made and I get to do everything I dreamed of and more.”

IGOR RETESZ

World of Digital

“I always wanted to study Computer Science so when I found out about UA92 and their unique way of completing a degree, it was the best news –having no end of year exams is really beneficial to me as I’m bilingual and dyslexic which can both be barriers when it comes to exams.”

us about his experience in student accommodation.

“If you’re a morning student and need to be on campus for 9am, you could literally walk out of your apartment at 8:55am and be there on time. The tram stop, which takes you straight to town, is just down the road, and there’s a huge Tesco around the corner too, which is handy for food shopping.

One of the best things is that all of your utilities and Wi-Fi costs are included, which is great as it means you don’t have lots of separate bills coming in - making it a lot easier to manage my money.”

F££S FINANCE FUNDING

We know that figuring out how to pay for your tuition fees and living costs can be daunting and confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. We’re here to help you navigate your way through the application process. We’ve covered the basics below.

1. You don’t need to fund it yourself In 2023/24 the cost of studying a full-time UA92 undergraduate degree is £9,250 per year.1 However, you don’t need that money in your bank account. You can arrange a Tuition Fee Loan with Student Finance England.3

2. And what about living costs?

To cover living costs, you can apply for a Maintenance Loan of up to £9,978 a year.2 This will be paid to you in three instalments across the academic year.

3. A student loan isn’t like a normal loan

Unlike a normal loan, you don’t start repaying your student loan until you’re earning over £2,083 per month,1 and even then you’ll only pay a small percentage of your earnings above the threshold. If you’re ever out of work or your income drops below the threshold, your repayments will stop.

4. If you’re still worried about covering all the costs…

Don’t worry - there are also bursaries, scholarships and grants available for students who are eligible for certain benefits, are disabled, or need help with childcare costs. These types of finance don’t need to be paid back. For International Student fees please see our website.

1. This is in line with the Plan 5 monthly threshold which applies to English students starting a course on or after 1 August 2023. If your course starts before then, you will need to refer to Plan 2 (see gov.uk website). This may change in line with Government guidelines. 2. The amount you are entitled to is means tested and will change based on whether you live at home or in accommodation. 3. Check if you’re eligible for Student Finance at
