Degree Students Finance
Studying for a degree is an investment in your future, and we know that understanding fees and finance can feel like a big step. That’s why we’ve made it as clear and straightforward as possible, so you know exactly what to expect.
WHAT STUDENT FINANCE IS AVAILABLE?
Student finance refers to the financial support provided by the government to help make studying for a degree more affordable. There are two main types of loans available: the Tuition Fee Loan and the Maintenance Loan.
The Tuition Fee Loan covers your tuition fees in full and is paid directly to the university. How much you borrow depends on the costs of the course you are applying for.
Maintenance Loan, which is based on your household income, provides funding to help with living costs. The Maintenance Loan is paid directly into your bank account in three equal instalments, one at the start of each term.
How Much Are Tuition Fees at Hull College?
Our tuition fees for an undergraduate full-time degree are £6,950 per year. If you take out a Tuition Fee Loan, this cost is fully covered, so there’s nothing to pay upfront.
Our fees for part-time degree level students are a maximum of £5,250 per year. The cost of the programme you study will be the full-time equivalent of £7,500, with the fee distributed across your part-time mode of study.
The Maintenance Loan is means-tested, meaning the amount you receive depends on your household income and where you plan to live while studying.
Eligible UK students can apply to Student Finance England for the Maintenance Loan of up to £10,544 (living away from home) or up to £8,877 (living at home) a year to help with living costs.
You can use the FREE ONLINE CACULATOR to estimate how much you’ll receive each year.
