Course Fees and Funding

Fees and student funding for TLSPH Courses

TLSPH believes that course fees should not be a barrier to personal development, hence our tuition fees are more affordable than those of traditional colleges. If you’re looking for a sensible, value-for-money alternative, go no further  you can stay in control of your expenses while still focusing on your learning.

Depending on your level of study, home country, and preferred form of payment, there are a variety of student finance alternatives available.

Student Loan (UK students)

Access to HE courses delivered by colleges in England and approved for public funding are co-funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency.

If you are aged 19 or over you may be expected to pay full fees, but in England you will be able to apply for a loan under the Government’s Advanced Learning Loans Scheme to cover the cost of these fees. Loan repayments start when you earn over £27,295 per year.

However, if you complete a QAA-recognised Access to HE course and then go on and complete a degree or other recognised higher education course, you won’t have to repay the remaining loan for the Access to HE course. However, you may be paying the loan back while you study if you are still working if you earn more than £27,295 per year.

There is also more information on Advanced Learning Loans and repayment arrangements on the Government website.

We have published a short video explaining all about the Advanced Leaner Loan and how Access to HE Students can apply.

Self-funding

A holding fee, which the cost of one module of study and varies per programme, will be required to secure your place on your course. This cost is fully refundable up to 30 days after the course begins. If you decide to enrol in a course at TLSPH, you must either agree to a payment plan for your course fees or pay the entire yearly amount in advance. You’ll be asked to clarify how you wish to fund your studies at the start of each academic year, and you’ll be offered the choice between these two alternatives once more.

Please contact the finance team.

Pay in full

You can also choose a payment plan for each year of study, which you can discuss with our student finance team before enrolling. The holding fee will be subtracted from the fees payable, and you will pay your remaining costs for that year according to the payment plan you choose. After each academic year, you must confirm whether you want to continue with your payment plan or pay in full for the next academic year. This applies to those who wish to continue to the next level of study.

Our payment plans are revised periodically. If you are interested in paying for your studies in installments, all of the details will be sent to you in advance.
