Loans, grants and funding

We have a team of dedicated Student Engagement Managers and Student Welfare Managers, who can help you identify any funding options you're eligible for, as well as guide you through the Student Finance application process.

If you choose to access the Government’s tuition fee loan, you won't need to pay your tuition fees up-front and you'll only start repaying the loan when you're earning a certain amount.

You can find out more about the scheme at gov.uk/student-finance.
