Tuition fee status depends on a number of criteria and varies according to where in the UK you will study. For further guidance on the criteria for home or overseas tuition fees, please refer to the UKCISA website.
Whatever the fees are for your chosen course, please note that you will not pay anything up front for your tuition. Eligible UK and EU students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan to cover the costs of their education, and you will only start to begin repaying the loan after graduation once you are earning over £25,000. This figure may be amended by the government if average earnings change.
You are also entitled to a Maintenance Loan to help towards the cost of living while you study. Depending on your household income (this will usually be how much your parents, carers or partner earn) you may also be entitled to a Maintenance Grant (which you would not need to repay). Both the loan and grant are dependent on your household income and whether you are moving away from home to study. Your eligibility for both loans and grants will be considered when you make your application for student finance.
Newham College does not offer onsite accommodation; however our Student Services team can discuss local accommodation options with you. For further information, please call 0208 257 4000.
