Fees & Funding

Your higher education study is an investment in your future. Even though the costs of higher education can seem daunting, there are funding options available to you to take away the financial pressure of studying a higher education qualification.

We are committed to transparent pricing in line with CMA guidance. Your tuition fee covers the core costs associated with your course, including teaching, learning materials, access to college facilities, and compulsory trips.
‍
We aim to keep as many costs as possible included within your tuition fee, however, there may be additional costs incurred throughout the duration of your studies. Additional, non-optional costs (such as for equipment, uniform or transport) are clearly listed at the outset on each course page to ensure you can make an informed decision. The tuition fee plus the additional non-optional costs represents the total price you will pay. Any additional optional costs (such as for non-compulsory trips or excursions) are available at an additional cost and you will only be charged for them if you specifically select them and agree to pay that optional cost.

Don't let the cost of funding your higher education journey put you off.

Our dedicated HE Admissions Team can help you with any questions you may have about fees and student finance.

Please refer to the sgscol.ac.uk policies webpage for the 'Higher Education fee & bursary policy' as well as other HE policies.

Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.

Most of you will be applying for a tuition loan to pay for your course and a maintenance loan to support you with the cost of living while you study.

You will need to budget for accommodation, bills and food if you are moving away from home. Student loans provide a calculator to help you predict how much maintenance loan you could be awarded: https://www.gov.uk/student-finance-calculator

Transport can be another cost for you to consider. You may prefer to pay upfront for a termly or yearly bus or rail pass rather than drive. Take a look at student bank accounts as some offer travel discounts as an incentive to open an account with them.

Some courses incur other costs such as materials fees, specialist equipment, field trips or enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks.

The links below are guides on how the student finance process works and how to get your application started.

Even if student finance seems complicated we are here to support you every step of the way. Please email us at HEAdmissions@sgscol.ac.uk if you have any questions and we will be happy to help you.
