Starting
university is an exciting time, but it also comes with financial
responsibilities. Whether you're figuring out how tuition fees work, exploring
funding options, or learning to manage a student budget, we’re here to help you
feel confident about your finances.
At
university, tuition fees cover the cost of your education and vary depending on
your course and whether you’re a home or international student. Most UK students take out a
government loan via the Student Loan Company to pay their tuition fees with the
loan being paid directly to the University on the student’s behalf.
Beyond
tuition, you’ll need to budget for everyday living expenses like rent, food,
books, travel, and social activities. Learning to manage your money is a key
part of university life and, at Northumbria, there’s plenty of support
available - from budgeting tools to advice on part-time work and emergency
funds. Our specialist advisors offer free impartial, confidential and
professional advice, guidance and information on a wide range of issues.
