Student loans

Many UK undergraduate students are entitled to a combination of grants and loans to cover living costs.

To cover the costs of studying you can apply for:

  • A Tuition Fee Loan to cover the cost of your fees in full
  • A Maintenance Loan for covering costs like rent (full time students only)
  • A Maintenance Grant if your household income is less than £42,600 (full time students only)
  • Extra financial help if you have children depending on you or a disability
  • Full-time students have to pay back any loans plus interest once you complete your course and start earning more than £21,000 a year. You don’t have to repay any grant or bursaries.

These may vary because of factors such as residency and household income but as a general guide the maximum grants/loans for 2015 are around £6,890 for students living in England, away from home.

All UK and EU undergraduate students are entitled to an amount of funding from the Student Loans Company to pay their fees.

There are a number of funding schemes available, dependant on personal circumstances. These will be discussed on an individual, one to one basis with the students and their families at a UCFB Applicant Day. UCFB offers tailored financial advice and guidance to each applicant to ensure that they receive the very best and most targeted advice and support.
