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
