Fees & Funding
Part Time Undergraduate Fees & Funding 2013-14
PLEASE NOTE: Information on
funding for part-time study for English and 'EU' students starting
in 2013/14 on a part-time course is still subject to parliamentary
approval and could be subject to change.
How much will my course cost?
For information on tuition fee costs please visit the
Finance Office website.
Could I be entitled to Government support towards my
fees?
Government changes from September 2012 resulted in new eligible
part-time students being able to apply for a government loan to
cover their tuition fees. If you are eligible, you can borrow up to
£6,750 per year to cover your tuition fees.
To be eligible, you must study a minimum of 25% of the full-time
equivalent course. You must also normally live in England,
meet all the regulations to qualify for student
finance and be studying for your first degree.

Could I be entitled to Government support towards my
living cost?
Unfortunately, part-time students cannot apply for a Maintenance
Grant or Maintenance Loan towards their living costs.

How do I apply for the Tuition Fee Loan?
IMPORTANT: We do advise that
you apply for your Tuition Fee Loan as soon as
possible so that your loan will be fully processed by your
funding body ie Student Finance England and be in place by
the time you start your course or early in your first semester.
The Student Finance England part-time
Tuition Fee Loan service for academic year 2013/14 is now open.
New part-time students who wish to apply
for a part-time Tuition Fee Loan in AY 2013/14 should apply online
at www.gov.uk/studentfinance.
EU Students
New EU part-time Tuition Fee Loan students
can apply from 28 April, 2013, by completing a paper
application form available to download from www.gov.uk/studentfinance.
Is there any support towards childcare available?
Unfortunately not. There is however a Nursery onsite that
does offer a 10% discount to all eligible students http://www.knurseries.com/
When do I start repaying my tuition fee loan?
You only start to repay your loan from the April four years
after your course started - or the April after you leave your
studies, whichever is sooner - and then only if you are earning
over £21,000 per year.
Do I pay interest on my loan?
Yes, you are charged interest on your loan from the day your
first payment is made until you pay your loan back in full.

below £21,000, all repayments will automatically stop.
