Financial Support for Full Time Undergraduate students from England - 2020/21 cohort

Tuition Fee Costs

For 2020/21, Bangor University will charge a tuition fee of £9,000 a year for full time undergraduate degree courses. Payment of tuition fees can be deferred until after you finish your studies, if you opt to take out a Tuition Fee Loan.

The Tuition Fee Loan is available regardless of family income. However, students who have previously studied at Higher Education level should contact Student Finance England to check their entitlement.

A Tuition Fee Loan has to be repaid once you leave your course and start earning more than £26,575 a year. Deductions are usually made through the PAYE tax system by your employer in the same way as tax and National Insurance contributions. You will make repayments at a rate of 9% of any amount that you earn above £26,575 a year (from 6th of April 2020). For further information, please visit the following website: www.studentloanrepayment.co.uk.

Alternatively, you can pay your fees whilst you study. For further information on how you can pay your tuition fees, if you choose to do so, or any other university fees such as accommodation please visit the Finance Office.

Maintenance Loan

  • A Maintenance Loan is available to help you pay for living expenses such as accommodation, food, books, clothes and travel. This money comes from the Government via the Student Loans Company.
  • How much you will receive with be determined on where you will live whilst you study and your taxable household income.
  • The Maintenance Loan will be paid directly into your bank or building society account in three instalments - one at the start of each term.
  • A Maintenance Loan has to be repaid once you leave your course and start earning more than £26,575 a year (from 6th of April 2020) Deductions are usually made through the PAYE tax system by your employer in the same way as tax and National Insurance contributions. You will make repayments at a rate of 9% of any amount that you earn above £26,575 a year (from 6th of April 2020). For further information, please visit the following website: www.studentloanrepayment.co.uk
