Fees & Bursaries

 £1,500 cash plus the equivalent value in direct support
If you’re a UK or EU student enrolling for the first time on a full time undergraduate course that starts in September 2010, the fee for tuition will be £3,290 a year. But, the good news is that neither you nor your family will be required to pay up front. Instead, you will be able to take out a loan to cover your tuition fees, which you won’t have to pay back until after you graduate.  

Student tuition loans are very different from loans that are offered by banks or building societies. For a start, you don’t have to begin repaying the loan until you’re earning at least £15,000 a year. You will repay 9% of anything you earn over £15,000 gross per year before deduction of income tax, or national insurance.

As a guide, if you earn an annual salary of £19,000, you would pay 9% of £4,000, or £360 in the year. This would be £30 per month.

Bucks New University financial support scheme for 2010 entry
A student experience like no other

At Bucks New University, we believe that the student experience is paramount and the University is working together with our Students’ Union and our faculties to deliver a student experience like no other. 

The £500 cash bursary is payable to all full-time undergraduates who are paying £3,290 and studying for their first degree qualification. If you are unsure whether you are eligible or not, please contact the Student Centre. 

This is a non-means-tested cash bursary payment, which will be transferred directly into your bank account in February. For more information please see the Big Deal section of the paying your fees document.

In addition, the University is investing a further £1 million per year in study and other opportunities to help you achieve the best possible degree award, improve your employability and provide a truly fulfilling university experience. We believe that this support package, known as the Big Deal, is unique in the sector.
