Some students may be eligible for free tuition fees for courses level 2 and below.
This is based on the student’s individual salary.
Salary threshold will be dependent on where you live and whether you live in a Mayoral Combined Authority. All students will need to complete a form and show evidence of their salary.
Below are some examples of the type of evidence we require – dated within 3 months of your course start date:
