Loughborough College, in common with all other institutions, is currently awaiting guidance from the Office of Fair Access on fee levels and access agreements for 2013/14. When this is available the College will set its full and part-time fees and these will be published on the College and UCAS websites.
Fee Payments and Financial Support
Students don't pay any tuition fees upfront at the point of entry. The costwill be covered by a government loan which you only start to repay once youhave left your course and are earning over £21,000.
Full time students may be entitled to a grant (which you don’t have to payback) of up to £3250 towards living costs such as food, accommodation andtravel.
From 2012, loans for tuition will be extended to eligible part timefirst-degree students who complete a minimum of 25% of the full time courseload per year.
