Course funding does not guarantee individual approval or a particular amount.
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.
Arden offers academic-skills and English-language support, success coaches, careers guidance, wellbeing and disability services, and individually assessed adjustments. Financial guidance and eligible-student hardship support are available; funding is not automatic.
