Student loans and financial support
Financing your university course from October 2012
Our promise to you
- We want to make it as easy as possible for you to study at Birkbeck. We want you to feel confident about applying for and enrolling on a first degree or certificate, knowing whether you can pay your fees by taking a government loan.
Fees and loans for undergraduate students
- For the first time, the government will pay eligible Birkbeck students’ fees through the new student loan system. This means you will not have to pay your fees upfront.
- Check our undergraduate course listings to see the fees for your course.
- Check our tutorial on loans and other financial support
- Note: fees for Certificates of Higher Education starting in 2012 have not been set. We will publish our fees once the course information becomes available in 2012.
