Fees
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.
Financial Support
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 2026 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.
£500 bursary for Bury College students
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:
- You must have commenced an undergraduate course of study in September 2026 or later at Bury College University Centre and be paying full-time tuition fees. Fees must be paid via tuition fee loan or you must be self-funded
- The bursary will be paid to you on your first higher education course and not on subsequent courses
- You must have successfully completed a full Level 3 qualification (e.g. A-levels, Advanced Diploma, or Advanced Apprenticeship, Access to HE or T Level) at Bury College in the academic year 2025/2026
- Payments will be made in two instalments (50% in December and 50% in March) of each consecutive academic year of undergraduate study, subject to achieving at least 90% attendance and satisfactory academic progress
- Payments will be terminated if you withdraw, are suspended, transfer to another institution or fail your programme of study
Paying back your fees
The Student Loans Company offers affordable repayment plans. How much you repay depends on your income - the amount you earn (including things like bonuses and overtime) before tax and other deductions – as well as the repayment plan you are on. You’ll repay a percentage of your income over the income ‘threshold’ for your type of loan, depending on how often you get paid. The income thresholds are different for each plan type.
