Download our 2012 Student Finance - The Real Deal
Wednesday 7 December 2011 from 6.00pm - 8.00pm
Herschel Building, Newcastle University
There is currently a lot of confusion surrounding Higher Education funding and how students can afford to fund their time at university. Many students are being unnecessarily deterred from applying to university due to misconceptions about student debt, rather than basing their decision on how much it’s actually likely to cost them.
This event will help you and your child to understand how the new student finance package works by providing relevant information about Higher Education funding. It will enable you all to make an informed decision about going to university. The event is part of ‘National Student Finance Day’ and is aimed at parents and carers of students in Years 11, 12 and 13 or currently at college.
