Funding and support

DIFFERENT FUNDING: NOT THE STANDARD UNDERGRADUATE LOAN

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

Student Finance England

Tuition fees: Different funding scheme

Maintenance: Different funding scheme

Postgraduate study has different funding, such as the Postgraduate Master’s Loan. It normally requires you to be under 60 at the start of the first academic year. An integrated master’s, PGCE or postgraduate healthcare course may follow other rules: the course needs checking.

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.

Funding source
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

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.
