MAINTENANCE FUNDING NORMALLY UNAVAILABLE

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

Student Finance England

Tuition fees: To be confirmed

Maintenance: Normally unavailable

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.

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

Academic coaching, study-skills, library and wellbeing support are available. Disability and Inclusion can discuss individual adjustments. Money and housing advice and scholarships/bursaries have separate eligibility rules. Confirm arrangements for your study mode.
