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

What our Students say

"The classes were smaller than what I was used to, I appreciated that because it means more interaction with the tutors."

Student Case Study - Jonathan

Why did you decide to study this qualification?
The modern world is built on the back of computer networks that are under constant threat of attack. Learning to develop the skills needed to protect them is challenging and exciting and was an easy choice for me.

Why did you choose B&FC?
The enthusiasm of the staff is infectious. The facilities and equipment here are in a class of their own, giving me hands-on experience with the kit I will go on to use in industry.

What have been the benefits of studying here?
The tutors have a wealth of experience and knowledge that comes through in their lessons. All the staff here have been very supportive and helpful with any issues I've raised.

What are you hoping to do in the future?
I want to secure a role in network engineering with an eye to getting a position in cyber security. My ideal position would be with an industry leader.
