Student finance
If you’re an undergraduate student from the UK, you may be able to receive financial support from the Government to help fund your studies.
The Government currently offers two types of loans that cover:
- Tuition fees (paid directly to the university)
- Living costs (paid directly to your bank and often called a maintenance loan)
Repayment
Both loans will need to be repaid after your studies, however generally you won’t have to start paying anything back until the April after you have finished your course once you are employed and earning above a specific amount. For more information on when you’ll start repaying, please refer to your student finance repayment plan. Any loan remaining for students from England after 40 years will be written off. Other UK countries such as Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different thresholds around repayment.
