Fees & Funding
Most people are eligible to study for free. Explore your funding options below or contact us for personalised advice.
Advanced Learner Loan
Written off when you complete your degree
Student Finance England will fund the course for learners living in the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, or Wales). This is a non-means-tested loan — it will be written off in full when you complete your degree.
Our advisors will provide you with a letter from us and support you when you apply for the loan.
To apply, you will need a current passport. If a learner does not have a valid passport, they can provide a copy of their birth certificate as proof of identity. No additional documents are required.
Learners living in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or Wales must print the application form and post it to Student Finance England via Recorded Delivery. Learners living in England can usually apply online with our letter.

£2,000 payable in instalments
The cost for learners who are self-funding the course is currently £2,000, payable in instalments. Contact us to discuss a payment plan that works for you.
University Funding
Tuition fee and maintenance loans
You may be able to borrow money to help pay for university or college tuition fees and to help with living costs.
You might get extra money on top of this — for example, if you're on a low income, are disabled, or have children. You may be able to get student finance even if you're not from the UK.
Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA)
Based on your needs, not income
DSA is support to cover study-related costs you have because of a mental health problem, long-term illness, or any other disability.
This can be on its own or in addition to any student finance you get. The type of support and how much you get depends on your individual needs — not your household income.
NHS Learning Support Fund
This is a grant — it does not need to be repaid.
