Full Time (Further Education)

 What Type of funding is available to me? 
Tuition Fees 
In most cases students studying on full-time non-advanced courses will not have to pay their own tuition fees providing that they are not repeating any area of study. However, you must apply to the Student Finance department so that your eligibility can be determined. If you do not meet the residency or other requirements you will have to pay your own tuition fees.
