You can use the student finance calculator to estimate your entitlement to loans and extra support.
Alternatively, you can pay your tuition fee to us directly – either in full or by spreading the cost in 3 termly instalments.
Your loan repayments depend on how much you earn – not on how much you have borrowed.
If you do not already have a student loan, or you took one out on or after 1 September 2012, you are only required to make repayments when you are earning over £26,575. Your repayments will not increase if you take out a loan for teacher training.
