Student Finance

For short-term placements there is no additional cost to undertaking a placement module or programme.

For year-long placements student fees are payable for the year that you will be undertaking the placement itself, generally your third year. This is no more than 20% of your normal annual student fee and you may be able to access a student loan for this.

Further information on tuition fees for a year in industry can be found here.

Please ensure you check your Faculty’s webpages for the placement module or programme that you wish to undertake or contact the Student Information Desk (SID) for help with queries related to fees and loans.

You may also be eligible for a higher value student loan if you are undertaking an unpaid yearlong placement. Student Finance may ask for a letter from the University which evidences your year in industry and confirms the pay you will receive over the year. Please contact your relevant Info point and hub for this letter in the first instance.
