A quick breakdown of Student Finance England 2026/27 Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance Loan amounts for prospective students.
Student Finance England for 2026/27
If you're considering university for the 2026/27 academic year, here's what Student Finance England currently offers:
per year, covering your course fees in full for most undergraduate degrees.
per year, depending on your circumstances, including where you live and study, to help with living costs like accommodation, food, and travel.
You don't pay the Tuition Fee Loan upfront — it's covered directly by Student Finance England.
How repayments work
Repayments only begin once you're earning above the relevant income threshold, and any remaining balance is written off after 40 years — it's a very different kind of loan to commercial borrowing.
Student Finance is designed around your income, not like commercial borrowing.
Returning to education later in life
There's no upper age limit for eligibility, and many of our students are in their 30s, 40s, and 50s returning to education.
If you're unsure whether you qualify, our advisors can walk you through your options for free — no obligation.
