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.

Some courses are free to those on certain means tested benefits.  For courses over more than one academic year the tuition fee quoted is per year.

The College can offer free tuition on some courses 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. To find if the course you want to do qualifies contact the Information Centre 01252 407040

Where fees are charged we would prefer you to pay in full at the start of the course.
