Repayments

MAINTENANCE LOAN

In addition to a tuition fee loan, full-time undergraduate students can also apply for a maintenance loan to help cover their living costs. If you are eligible, you can take out a loan for each year of your course. The amount you receive will depend on your household income. This money will be paid into your bank account in three instalments and it is up to you how you budget for your living costs.

REPAYING YOUR STUDENT LOAN
