Funding and support

FUNDING AWAITING CONFIRMATION

CalmaLink needs to check this course’s funding before confirming it to you.

Student Finance England

Tuition fees: To be confirmed

Maintenance: To be confirmed

Most courses starting on or after 1 January 2027 use the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE). You must be under 60 on the first day of the course to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan. At 60 or over, an additional living-cost loan may be available: we review this with you. If the course has not been confirmed as LLE-funded, check it with us.

For courses starting before 1 January 2027, the Tuition Fee Loan has no upper age limit. If you are 60 or over at the start of the first academic year, eligible full-time living-cost support is up to £4,582 in 2026/27, depending on household income.

Most courses starting on or after 1 January 2027 use the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE). You must be under 60 on the first day of the course to apply for a Tuition Fee Loan. At 60 or over, an additional living-cost loan may be available: we review this with you.

Previous study does not rule you out: it depends on what you studied, whether you received UK funding and the course. We review it with you.

Student Finance England makes the decision. We help you check. Official source

Course funding does not guarantee individual approval or a particular amount.

Attendance and English

To receive a Maintenance Loan you normally need regular in-person classes during the week. A course offering only weekend attendance does not normally meet these requirements. Before enrolling, confirm the timetable and any applicable exceptions with the provider and Student Finance England.

The provider will check that you meet the English requirements for this course, whether you are a Home or international student. Declaring your level does not replace their assessment.

Read the official attendance guidance

Greenwich publishes academic support, wellbeing, disability and dyslexia services. Discuss reasonable adjustments early. For an Oxford International foundation stage, confirm college support arrangements separately.
