Student Case Study - Aneta

Why did you decide to study this qualification?
I originally worked in hospitality but when the pandemic hit, things changed drastically and I saw it as an opportunity to take my career in a whole new direction.

Why did you choose B&FC?
There were several reasons. I was impressed that I could do a degree awarded by Lancaster University here plus it's local which works for me as I have a little one and a husband to think about.

What have been the benefits of studying here?
The Higher Education Learning Mentors (HELMs) have been amazing. They have made such a difference to my learning experience on an almost weekly basis.

What are you hoping to do in the future?
I've been so inspired by my tutors that I've decided that the next step for me is to do a PGCE here and go into teaching after that.

  • A thriving local and regional financial and professional services sector
  • Industry-recognised qualifications and accreditations
  • Exciting career opportunities with established businesses and dynamic start-ups

Affording your Course

We know that people are concerned about the costs associated with studying for a degree and also if having a degree will be worth it once they graduate. Here are just a few things to think about before you make a final decision.

  • There really is nothing to pay up front if you are a UK resident and haven't previously completed an equivalent degree-level qualification
  • You can get a tuition fee loan to cover course fees and repayments don't kick in until after you graduate and are earning at least £25K
  • Even when you're earning £30,000,  the repayments are only £37.50 per month - about the same cost as an average takeaway for two
  • Eligible students can also get help towards living and childcare costs and there are other bursaries and grants you can apply for
  • What's more, according to a recent report. graduates, on average, earn approximately £5K more than their non-graduate counterparts. That's around £300 extra per month
     
"I'm actually better off doing my degree than I was doing a part-time job. If I'd realised how much financial support was available, I wouldn't have put off doing a degree for so long. I'm absolutely loving it and my job prospects are already so much better." 
 - Yvonne, Degree-level Student
