Apply for student finance

Why might I need student finance?

Eligible students starting an undergraduate programme in 2021/22 do not have to pay tuition fees up-front. The cost can be covered by a tuition fee loan (applied for via Student Finance). You do not have to start repaying this loan until you have left your course and earn over £26,575 per year.

Loans for living costs, usually called a maintenance loan, are available for help towards the cost of accommodation, food and travel.

How to apply for student finance

Applications to Student Finance England will open next year and we will send you an email to let you know when the system is live. We would strongly encourage you to apply as soon as possible, to ensure your funding is in place for the start of your studies.
