Home Students

Tuition Fees

Tuition fees at Edge Hill University will be £3,290 for full time PGCE students but the institution is offering the following financial support packages:

• No compulsory up-front contribution to fees for any students.
• You can take out a tuition fee loan (available through the Student Loans Company) to cover fees, paying the money back through the tax system after you graduate. Repayments won’t start until you are earning £15,000pa. Alternatively, if you wish to pay your fees as you study, it's possible to pay each year in full on enrolment or in three instalments.
• Parents are not expected to contribute towards tuition fees.

Maintenance Loan

This means-tested loan is to help with living expenses. The amount you're entitled to depends on your family income and whether you'll be living at home. If you're living at home, the maximum you're entitled to is £3,838 for programmes starting in September 2010. If you're living away from home, the maximum amount is £4,950. You’ll be able to get 72% of the maximum amount that applies to you whatever your household income.

As with tuition fee loans, you pay the money back through the tax system after you graduate. Repayments won’t start until you're earning £15000pa.

Bursaries

Edge Hill is offering extra funding for full-time undergraduate students through financial support including bursaries.

Students with a family income of less than £25,000 will be entitled to an Edge Hill bursary of £500.

To help out with the day to day costs of studying, any home / EU students on a full-time undergraduate degree who are paying the full tuition fee are entitled to a £200 Learning Support Package (LSP) to spend on books and other learning materials. You will receive your LSP when you have enrolled. You qualify for new LSP of £200 each time you progress onto the next year of your course.

If you have a brother or sister studying at Edge Hill University on a course that charges the full tuition fee, your tuition fees and those of your sibling will be reduced by £1,000 per annum.
