As a full-time or part-time Bury College University Centre student you won’t need to pay any up-front fees. You can also apply for a loan to cover your tuition fees.
If you are eligible for a loan this will be automatically paid by the Student Loans Company and then transferred into a student loan account in your name. Additional financial support may be available for some full-time courses, subject to specific conditions. Student Finance England have provided a lot of useful information.
As a full-time or part-time student you will have no up-front fees to pay. You can also apply for a loan to cover your tuition fees.
Most full-time and part-time students applying for a university course for September 2024 will not have to pay their tuition fees in advance. If you are eligible your fees are automatically paid by the Student Loans Company and then transferred onto a student loan account in your name.
Students who progress directly from a Level 3 full-time course at Bury College onto a course at the University Centre will benefit from a £500 bursary, paid each academic year of your course.
In order for you to receive the £500 bursary you must meet the following criteria:
Please note, the Bury College Bursary does not apply to the University of Salford Nursing course – further information regarding University of Salford fees and finances can be found at: https://www.salford.ac.uk/undergraduate/fees
You will be asked to pay back 9% of your income over the threshold of £27,295 a year. The Student Loans Company offers affordable repayment plans. For example, if you finish your course and are earning £2,400 per month, then your income each month is £126 over the threshold. In this case, you would pay back £11 each month.
