HIGHER LEVEL COURSE GUIDE LR

FUNDING YOUR
STUDies
With the cost of university degrees rising, you may think higher
education is out of your reach financially. But university is not
your only option.
Studying a Higher Education course could
be the best investment you ever make –
and there is more financial help available
than you might think.
TUITION FEES
Tuition fees at Kirklees College are
significantly lower than universities and
other colleges in the area. These fees
cover the cost of your tuition, registration
and exams.
The Association of Colleges (AoC)
revealed that HE students who study in
FE colleges are likely to leave college with
around £17,500 less debt than if they had
studied their qualifications at university.
With lower tuition fees, the chance to
live at home, work part time, and reduce
travel costs, studying a HE course at a
further education college is a fantastic
way to gain high quality qualifications.
Our student financial support team is
happy to provide information, advice
and guidance on any aspect of student
finance and budgeting.
