Government support for undergraduates
Information for students starting in 2012
You will not have to pay your tuition fees up front as the Government
will provide UK and EU students with a tuition fee loan which you only start
to repay after graduation, once you are earning over £21,000. You will be
able to access these loans for your tuition fees, while grants (for those
from lower income families) and loans for maintenance support will also be
available.
If your family income is up to £25,000, you will be entitled to a more
generous student maintenance grant of up to £3,250 which is non-repayable.
If your family income is up to £42,000, you will be entitled to a partial
grant. Maintenance loans will be available for all eligible full-time
students. More
information on the student loan rates and maintenance grants is
available on the Government’s website.
