Fees and funding your course
Education is an important investment – in yourself and in your future – and we believe it’s an investment that should be within everyone’s reach.
Our online study programmes provide an affordable path to achieving your educational goals, when compared to traditional on-campus studies. Furthering our commitment to accessibility, we offer financial support like scholarships, a Hardship Fund, and flexible payment options.
This page is dedicated to guiding you through the tuition fees for our online courses – undergraduate and postgraduate – and the different ways you can pay.
If you're looking for international student tuition fees, see our fees and funding page for international students.

Undergraduate tuition fee loan
If you’re a UK student, a government student loan could help you with tuition costs. The tuition fee loan will cover your full fees and be paid directly to LIBF before the course begins.
How to apply
When you apply for a tuition fee loan to study one of our undergraduate degrees, you must select part-time study in the initial steps of your student loan application, even if you plan to study full-time with us. The part-time loan is sufficient to cover your tuition fees for the online degree.
The application timeline
Once you've submitted your application, the review process can take up to 6 weeks. We highly recommend giving yourself at least 6 weeks between submitting your student loan application and your chosen start date, allowing you to focus on your studies without any unnecessary delays.
Eligibility
The funding you receive will depend on:
your age
your nationality or residency status
your intended course, and
whether you have studied before.
You’ll only need to start repaying the loan once you’ve finished your course and are earning over a specified amount.
You’ll find more details about undergraduate loans on the UK Government website.
Please note: even if you plan to study full time, to study online with us you need to apply for the part time tuition fee loan.
Additional financial support
You may also be entitled to additional support from the government if you’re:
disabled
a single parent
facing financial hardship, or
have children or adult dependents.
If you can’t attend higher education in person due to a disability – and that’s why you’ve opted for distance learning – you may also be eligible for a maintenance loan.
Postgraduate Master's Loan (master's and MBA)
If you’re a postgraduate student, you can apply for a non-means-tested loan. Master's Loans are available to UK or Irish national citizens under the age of 60, who are resident in England. (Different funding rules apply in the rest of the UK.)
You can use your Master's Loan to cover your tuition fees and to contribute to living costs. You’ll receive your loan directly to your bank account in instalments over the course of your studies. You’ll only need to start repaying the loan once you’ve finished your course and are earning over a specified amount.
Find out how to apply for the Master's Loan on the UK Government website.

We’re sorry we can’t make this gift available to international students studying online right now. But we’re working on it!
