Fees and finance
Our tuition fees are £5,995* per year for full-time courses. Part-time course fees are calculated on a course-by-course basis. How does the fee system work? Eligible students studying at Level 4 or above can apply for a Tuition Fee Loan from Student Finance England at the same time as applying for other maintenance support. There are no up-front fees to pay and you will only start repaying your student loan once you have left College and are earning over £27,295 per year before tax and other deductions. You may be eligible for financial support with living costs through a Maintenance Loan. The amount that students receive depends on their total annual household income. Advanced Learner Loans If you are aged 19+ and studying an Access to HE course, you may be eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan to help pay for your course fees. Find out more about Advanced Learner Loans: www.barnsley.ac.uk/paying Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) If you’re a student with a learning difficulty, health problem or disability then you can apply for DSAs to cover some of the extra costs you may have.

You will receive this allowance on top of any other student finance. You will not need to repay a DSA. If you’re a part-time student, the intensity of your course as well as how long it takes to complete will affect how much funding you will receive. Help for parents The Childcare Grant and Parents’ Learning Allowance can help parents to balance the cost of childcare and study. Students with an adult who depends on them financially may also be eligible for an Adult Dependants’ Grant. For more information on any aspect of student finance, call Student Finance England on 0300 100 0607 or go to: www.gov.uk/student-finance Remember • You may be able to borrow money to help pay for tuition fees and to help with living costs. You might get extra money on top of this, for example if you’re on a low income, are disabled or have children. • Students don’t pay – graduates pay. You only begin to pay back your loan once you start working and earn more than £27,295 per year before tax and other deductions. • The median salary for working-age graduates was £36,000 in 2020. This was £10,000 more than non-graduates (£26,000).**
