We’ll pay your money into your bank account in 3 instalments, usually once at the start of each term. If your course lasts for more than a year, the money will be divided equally across each year of your course.

For example, if you’re getting £18,770 and studying for 2 years, you’d get around £9,385 each year in 3 instalments of around £3,128 each term. Your final instalments in each academic year will usually be slightly higher than your other instalments.

You have to pay back any loan you borrow, including interest once you’ve finished or left your course.
