Employer Support
You may want to consider talking to your employer about what help they can offer to support you in your studies. Some employers make a financial contribution to the tuition costs of a part-time higher education qualification. Employers can pay all or part of your part-time tuition fees upfront. You can then apply for the amount of loan you require to make up the balance. Please note, however, that employers cannot take out a Tuition Fee Loan on your behalf.
Previous Study
Please note, previous higher education study may limit your eligibility for funding. You cannot normally hold a qualification at the same or higher level than the one for which you intend to study and be eligible for funding.
EU Students
Tuition fees for EU students are the same amount as those for UK students.
If you are an EU national and you have been living in the European Economic Area (EEA) and/or Switzerland for three years before your course begins, you are probably eligible for a tuition fee loan meaning the course does not have to be paid for upfront.
For further information on the financial support available to EU students, visit www.ukcisa.org.uk.
Deferred Entry
Please note, for students deferring entry to Edge Hill University, the tuition fee and financial support arrangements applicable are those which prevail in the year of entry and not the time of an offer or acceptance of a place.
