Loans
You’ll need to pay back what you borrow, after you have graduated and are earning more than a set amount.
The loans and amounts available depend on which part of the UK you normally live in.

English students can apply for tuition fee and maintenance loans.
Tuition fee loan
A tuition fee loan covers the full cost of your course.
It’s not means-tested, which means your household income does not affect how much you get.

How much you can borrow also depends on whether you are living at home or not.
