A smart and affordable investment

Every UK university charges tuition fees. UK tuition fees vary depending on your home country. You will be eligible for either Home (UK) fees, or International fees.

Eligible students can apply for a tuition fee loan so they are able to study now and pay it back later. It means you won't have to pay any fees upfront and you won't start paying the fees back until you're earning a reasonable income - currently set at over £25,000 for students starting an undergraduate degree from August 2023 under Plan 5. How much you repay depends on your income and which repayment plan you are on.

  • No upfront fees.
  • You only pay back your loan once you start work and earn more than £25,000 per year.
  • Graduates on average earn £12,000 per year more than non-graduates over their working lives.
  • Outstanding debt under Plan 5 is written off 40 years after the April you were first due to repay.

In addition to the government funding available, UEL provides all new undergraduate students with core textbooks as e-books.

You'll also have the opportunity to apply for our wide range of scholarships and bursaries. We award over £2 million annually via these schemes, so it is definitely worth submitting an application.
