Loan eligibility does not depend
on your income and there are no credit checks. You’ll have to pay your
loan back when you’ve finished your course and if you earn more than £25,725, a year. If you meet certain criteria you may also be
eligible for money from the Advanced Learner
Loan Bursary Fund.
Level 5 and 6 (undergraduate
course) – Tuition fee loan
Government website
A tuition fee loan covers the cost of
the fees charged by the university or college. Again this is only paid
back once your course is finished and you earn in excess of £25,725, a year. Find out if you are
eligible for a bursary
