Financial support from the UK government
2020 entry
Tuition fee and maintenance loans
Most Home/EU students are eligible for a Tuition Fee loan from Student Finance England. Tuition Fee loans are available to UK and EU full-time or part-time students and cover the full tuition fee. They are paid directly to your university by the government and you don't need to repay the loan until you're earning at least £21,000 per year.
Depending on your personal circumstances, you may also be eligible for a maintenance loan or grant to help you cover living costs. Find out more about student finance at gov.uk.
The process is different if you're a student from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Visit your relevant website for more information:
