Fees and Finance
Going to University is a real investment in your future. You’ll have two main costs to consider – tuition fees and living costs.
Tuition fees are the money you pay for your course. These vary depending on if you are a full-time student or a part-time student, and if you are a UK student vs an international student.
Most UK students will be able to apply for a loan from the Student Loans Company to help pay for these. Depending on your circumstances, grants, bursaries, and scholarships may also be available to you.
