Higher Education Fees & Funding
Working in conjunction with colleagues from across the college, the Admissions department is responsible for the administrative management and processing of applications.
The following guidance is for current students, along with students looking to study with CECOS College.
Undergraduate Student Finance
Tuition fees and living costs can seem like a huge burden to take on when thinking about studying at higher level. However, the government has schemes in place to help you achieve your education goals. Student Finance England is a government agency that can provide you with a tuition fee loan, maintenance loan and other financial support, as long as you are aged over 18 years and are a UK citizen or have a right of abode in the UK. All students have to demonstrate that they meet the eligibility criteria, but do not worry, our friendly and experience team at CECOS are happy to provide help and advice.
What finance is available to students wanting to study for a higher education course?
Tuition Fee Loans
Tuition fees are the amount universities or colleges charge you each year to study with them. You can take out a loan with Student Finance England to pay for this. The tuition fee will then be paid directly to the College. Repayments of the loan will not commence until the April after your programme ends (subject to you earning a minimum of £25,725.00 per annum). A list of tuition fees is shown in the table below.
Maintenance Loan
Living cost loans are available to help support you while studying. This is paid into your bank account at the start of each term. This loan will not need to be repaid until the April after your programme ends (subject to you earning a minimum of £25,725.00 per annum).
Extra Help Available
- Child Care Grant
- Parents’ Learning Allowance
- Bursaries and Scholarships
- The Adult Dependants’ Grant
- Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) – https://www.gov.uk/disabled-students-allowance-dsa
Useful Facts
- You only start your repayments once you earn £25,000+ per year.
- Monthly payments are the same on all courses, independent of fees
- Repayments are taken via the payroll, just like tax. So, you never actually handle the cash, meaning there will be no debt collectors chasing you!
