Applying for student loans

tiemadmin • 27 March 2025

Student Loans help cover the cost of university or college in the UK. Whether you're full-time, part-time, or heading into postgrad study, here’s what you need to know about applying for 2025–26 funding—even if your plans aren’t final yet.

Student Loans are an essential part of the government’s financial support system for individuals pursuing higher education in the UK. These loans are designed to assist students in covering their living and educational costs during their time at university or college.

If you usually reside in England, you can apply for student finance for the academic year 2025-26. You can submit your application for student finance even if you are unsure about your living or studying arrangements. Applications for postgraduate students will be open at the end of April, while part-time applications will be available starting in May.

You can apply for several types of funding, including Tuition Fee Loans and Maintenance Loans. Applications can be made up to nine months after the start of your course’s academic year. If you are eligible for tuition fee-only funding, you will need to submit your application by post. However, for most applicants, the best way to apply is online through the Student Finance England website.

For those requiring financial assistance for further education courses at a college or training provider, it may be possible to apply for an Advanced Learner Loan instead.

The application procedures differ for students who are from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and they should be aware of the specific requirements they need to meet.
