Getting Started Funding & Finance Admission Process Student Life

Tuition fees

Home undergraduate fees are capped by government and differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
International fees are set by each university and vary by course; lab-based and clinical courses usually cost more.
Each course page on UniTu shows the published annual fee where the university provides it.

Student finance for home students

Tuition fee loans are paid directly to your university.
Maintenance loans help with living costs and depend on household income and where you live.
Repayments are income-contingent and only start once you earn above the threshold.

Scholarships & bursaries

Most universities offer merit, need-based and subject-specific awards; check the university's funding pages.
International students can explore government-funded schemes such as Chevening and Commonwealth Scholarships.
Apply early — many scholarships close well before course start dates.

Budgeting & cost of living

Plan for rent, bills, food, travel, course materials and a buffer for emergencies.
Full-time students are usually exempt from council tax — apply for the exemption.
International students must show they can cover fees and living costs for their visa.
