Undergraduate students can borrow 100 per cent of their course fees with the tuition fee loan, which is only repaid after graduation and is linked to graduate salaries. Once you leave your course, you’ll only repay when your income is above the repayment threshold. The has further information on repayments and has up-to-date income threshold figure

If any changes are made, they’re usually (but not always) linked to inflation, based on a measure called RPIX (Retail Price Index excluding mortgage interest payments) but may be based on alternative measures in the future. We’ll let you know about any changes as early as we can (usually in the academic year before the increase would apply), depending on when future government announcements are made.
