Loans and Grants
England
Tuition Fee Loan
Students living in England who are starting their studies in academic year 2024/25 can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan to cover the full cost of tuition fees (subject to terms and conditions). They can do this by applying online to Student Finance England (SFE).
Tuition Fee Loan payments will be made directly to the University upon confirmation of your attendance each term, therefore no up-front payment is required.
