The Government recently announced changes to the Student Finance system for students starting their studies in 2023/24. 

• Tuition Fees are guaranteed to be £9,250 up to and including the 2024/25 academic year
• Interest will be RPI + 0% meaning graduates won't repay more than they borrowed in real terms
• Graduates will begin to repay their loan when their salary is above £25,000 a year.  This figure is guaranteed until the 2026/27 academic year.
• Debts will be written off 40 years after graduating

For more information please read the full Government statement.

All eligible students can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan of £9,250 and a Living Costs Loan while they're studying at Newcastle University.

If you're from England you can read about the Living Costs Loans available to you in our guidance. For a basic overview of the funding available to you please read this guide.
