Apply for your tuition fee loan before registration

Please ensure that you apply for your tuition fee loan before registration with the University as the information regarding the payment of your fees will be required before the start of your course.

The Student Loans Company (SLC) will provide you with an ART number (attendance record number) and this information should be brought with you when you attend registration. In the meantime, i.e. during your studies, the SLC will pay your fees for you. 

Self Funding Bursary Scheme (pre-2012 entry)

Graduates who cannot, or choose not to, take out a tuition fee loan have special bursary arrangements. 

The self funding bursary scheme applies only to students who started their degree with us before 2012.

• Not entitled to or, have not applied for a Government student loan for tuition fees.
