Student loans

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

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 – and you don’t have to begin paying back the loan at all until your salary reaches the repayment threshold (£15k in 2008-9).
