If you do need to pay a fee:


There are a number of ways to pay. You may also be able to get help with your fees. • If there is a fee, most students pay their full fee when they enrol.


• Don’t worry, if you are unable to do this, we can help you with costs by arranging for you to pay in instalments in many cases.


• We have a limited Learner Support Fund and can also give advice on external funds and bursaries to support our learners with costs related to studying.


• Some students’ fees are paid by their employer or another sponsor. In these cases you will need a letter from them.


• For information about 24+ Advanced Learning Loans and Higher Education loans, see the specific sections on this page.


• If you are an international student please contact us for the international student application process and costs.


Remember, it’s worth investing in getting the training and qualifications you need, as it can help you to get a great job.


For Higher Education Courses


We have held our higher education fees at last year’s rate, just £3,295 per year for an HNC or an HND. There are three ways to pay this fee: • Pay your own fee in full at enrolment, in 3 instalments or by 6 direct debit payments


• Combine your own payment with a Student Loans Company (SLC) loan


• Pay your fee completely through the SLC loan.


Types of Student Loans Company loans: • If you study as a full-time student you could access both a tuition fee loan and a maintenance fee loan.


• If you study as a part-time student you may only access the tuition fee loan.


You could get a £1,800 discount off your HE fee with a National Scholarship • If you have a household income of less than £25,000 per year.


• The scholarships will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.


• Scholarships are designed for new entrants to HE courses, not continuing students.


If you’re aged 24+ and studying at level 3 or above:


you will need to pay a fee but you could take out a new 24+ Advanced Learning Loan to cover some or all of the costs. You won’t need to start paying it back until you’re earning £21,000 per year. 24+ bursaries are also available to help some students with costs related to studying.


Before taking out any loan, you should consider all your options. If you want advice on managing your finances, you can get impartial advice from the Money Advice Service at moneyadviceservice.org.uk

HE students with a disability may claim financial help through the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA): • Students must apply themselves to get the support they need in time for the start of their course.


• You must have your DSA in place before your support needs are assessed.


Studying HE at Hackney Community College is significantly cheaper than an equivalent university course.


Am I a Home Student?


A Home Student is someone who: • has lived in the UK or the European Community without any restrictions on their right of stay for 3 years before the start of the course;


• or has been granted refugee status, humanitarian discretion or exceptional leave to remain;


Our advisers can give you information and support in applying for FE and HE loans.


• or is an asylum seeker. • Please ask a member of our customer services team for further terms of eligibility for Home Student status.


All courses are subject to change and may be cancelled without prior notice as a result of funding changes or low demand. You may be eligible for a discounted tuition fee or a loan on some courses, but you will need to check with us. Students who pay a tuition fee may also pay an exam, DBS Check and materials fee if applicable. This is just a guide to the courses we offer; check our website www.hackney.ac.uk for up-to-date information.
