Fees & Funds
LSST’s programmes are delivered under franchise agreements with partner universities.
Tuition fees at LSST vary by course. For accurate fee information, please refer to the detailed pages of each course on our website, which outline the costs comprehensively.
 

What is a tuition fee loan? 

You can apply for a tuition fee loan if you are a student in the UK or the EU and meet the requirements. This will pay for all of your tuition for each academic year, so you won’t have to pay anything toward your fees while you’re enrolled. 

Unlike the Maintenance Loan for living expenses, the loan is not means tested, so your household income does not apply. Only after graduating and earning more than the predetermined amount each year will you be able to repay the loan. 

You can find out more about the loans, including information for EU students, in the student finance section of the Government’s GOV.UK website

 

How to apply for a tuition fee loan? 

Students from England should apply to: Student Finance England (Helpline: 0300 100 0607)   

We strongly encourage that you apply as soon as possible to minimise delays, as the processing of student loans takes at least six weeks.  

You can also apply online.  

 

What is a Maintenance loan and how to apply? 

The purpose of the Maintenance Loan is to help settled and full-time students in the UK with living expenses like rent, food, and transportation.  

Your household income, where you reside, and where you study will all affect how much you can receive.  

Similar to the Tuition Fee Loan, the Maintenance Loan must only be repaid once you have graduated, found employment, and reached a certain income level. 

Students from England should apply to: Student Finance England (Helpline: 0300 100 0607)   

You can also apply online.  

 

I am not eligible for Student Finance and would like to self-fund. How do I do this?  

Self-funding your education can be a rewarding way to finance your studies, but it requires careful planning and budgeting. LSST can offer the option to pay your tuition fees in installments rather than all at once. If paying upfront is difficult, monthly or quarterly payments might be a more manageable option. An instalment plan will need to be put in place and must be separately agreed with the Finance Office prior to the start of your course. Please contact our Finance team at studentfinance@lsst.ac for more information and support.  

 

Other Information 

If you are applying for Student Finance, please be aware that all inquiries, applications, and correspondence must be handled directly with Student Finance. LSST does not have the ability to access, process, or expedite your application in any way.  

Please note that it is your responsibility to provide LSST as well as SFE with timely and accurate information regarding your Student Finance circumstances. 

LSST and its partner reserves the right to withdraw you from the course in accordance with the Withdrawals, Deferrals and Transfers Policy and use all legal means at its disposal to collect the fees. 

 

Understanding your tuition fees  

You pay tuition fees at the beginning of each year. Tuition fees are liable to increase annually for all students. UK undergraduate fees are regulated by the government. You should also budget for extra costs in addition to your tuition fees. 

 

Extra costs in addition to tuition fees 

You may have to pay for some things that your tuition fees do not cover. 

The Course Fee covers tuition, tutorials, assessment and exam fees and awarding body registration, essential text books and a stationery pack. It does not include travel, accommodation or food, printing costs or assignment re-submission fees.  

It also does not cover the separate costs of any DBS check (e.g. enhanced disclosure where required for certain courses and placements) that you may be required to take as a condition of enrolment on your course, or the cost of producing official letters for third parties such as employers or the Council (which are £20 per letter and £5 for duplicate copies). Non-urgent letters, which are not duplicate copies, are free of charge.
