Student loans

You can apply for a student loan to help meet the cost of your tuition fees and living expenses.

Under current arrangements (ie for those beginning their course in 2011), your loan is repayable but interest is pegged to the rate of inflation so, when you graduate, you shouldn’t owe more in real terms than you borrowed. If you are undertaking a four year undergraduate entry course, please also see the four year accredited programmes page

New arrangements for student support come into force for those beginning their courses from Autumn 2012. For more informationon the changes please click here.
