Further Education
Full time students under the age of 19 on 1st September before the start of their course, do not pay tuition fees. For students over 19 years old there are many concessions, so check with the College before you apply as there maybe help for students taking their first full level 2 qualification (eg GCSEs Grades A*-C). Some level 3 courses (eg A levels, AS levels) are also available under this scheme.

Higher Education
No Top-Up Fees here for Entry 2009
Under the new scheme for tuition fees all eligible full-time students will be able to apply for a Student Tuition Fee Loan to cover the full amont of their tuition fees. This loan is not means tested and students only start to repay the loan once they have left their course and are earning over £15,000. Application for this loan is through the Student Finance England and once approved students tuition fees will be paid directly to the University or College.

Adult Education
The College charges tuition fees to cover some or all of the cost of providing the course.
Many course are free to those on certain means tested benefits. For courses over more than one academic year the tuition fee quoted is per year.
We offer free tuition to students taking their first full level 2 qualification (eg GCSEs) for the first time; some level 3 courses (eg A levels, AS levels) are also available under this scheme.
Where fees are charged we would prefer you to pay in full at the start of the course.
