Funding Your Extraordinary Future

Support for Every Step of Your Journey

Student finance can seem complicated, but it doesn’t have to be and we are here to guide you through the process.

You do not have to pay for your degree upfront. Most students comfortably fund their studies through Student Finance England. These standard loans cover your tuition fees, help with daily living costs and offer targeted help, like the Childcare and Parent Support package. We remove the barriers so you can focus entirely on your growth and academic success.

Boost Your Budget With Our Bursaries

We are incredibly proud to offer one of the most generous financial assistance packages in the region. If your household income is less than £37,500 per year, you could receive a non-repayable bursary of up to £1,000. We also offer a fantastic range of everyday benefits to make student life easier. Depending on your circumstances, you can access:
  • Free course-related equipment to ensure you have the right tools
  • Travel assistance to help you manage the costs of your commute
  • Childcare contributions that cover up to 15 per cent of your childcare costs
  • Free breakfast and fresh fruit to keep you fuelled, energised and focused
