Student loans
There are two loans you can apply for through Student Finance England
Tuition Fee Loan
You can take out a repayable Tuition Fee Loan:
-
to pay your tuition fees only
-
It is non-income assessed
-
from 2012 part-time students can apply for this loan
-
paid directly to the University - not the student.
Please note: Your tuition fees increase each year, so you must put the correct amount on your application form when applying for this loan:
-
Current students returning in 2012 fees = £3,465 degree level; £3,070 HND
-
NEW students starting in 2012 fees = £7,800 degree level; £7,420 HND
Maintenance Loan
You can apply for the Maintenance Loan to pay:
-
for living and course costs.
-
It is split into three instalments over the academic year and paid into your bank account over three terms.
-
Max household income level for 2012 entrants is £60,000 for the loan. Anything above this income level you will get the lower non-means tested rate of loan and no grants/bursary/NSP.
-
To still get some grant the income must be under £42,600
-
NB: You do not have to take out this loan in order to get a Maintenance Grant/Bursary/NSP or Tuition Fee Loan.
