Most UK students are eligible for a tuition fee loan. Maintenance loans are also available, for living costs.
These are means-tested, so the amount you get depends on your family’s income. The maximum maintenance loan if you live away from home and outside of London ranges from £10,227 in England to £6,776 in Northern Ireland in 2024/25.
You are charged interest on your total loan from the day you take it out. Eligibility and repayment rules differ across the UK.
