Students Finance: Plan Now and Gain future


 No escaping the fact that going to university is an expensive business is there. All told, a emblematic three-year course at a public university in England is likely to set you back £50,000 to £60,000. The great news is that you don’t have to pay it all upfront. The Government provides student finance support to cover the costs of both tuition and maintenance — though ultimately you’ll probably have to repay most of the money. At present, tuition fees at public universities and colleges are capped at £9,000 per year for full-time courses. Logically enough, this is also the maximum Tuition Fee Loan you can take out each year. Private universities can charge whatever fees they like, and those attending them are limited to a £6,000 annual Tuition Fee Loan. If you’re doing a part-time course that qualifies for assistance, you’ll be able to borrow up to £6,750, or £4,500 if you’re at a private university or college. Individual universities may also offer fee waivers for students from low-income households — details of these will be available on university websites. When it comes to living costs, including your accommodation, state support takes the form of Maintenance Loans (which need to be paid back) and Maintenance Grants (which don’t). Both are paid into your nominated bank account at the beginning of each period.

London Metropolitan University Students Told They Can Continue Studies By High Court Judge

International students have been told by a High Court judge they can temporarily continue their studies at London Metropolitan University.

In August, London Met Uni's licence to recruit overseas students was revoked, meaning more than 2,600 overseas students faced being sent home.In another victory for the international students, the National Union of Students (NUS) was given the go ahead to launch an independent intervention on behalf of those studying at London Met Uni

Around 40 students gathered outside 10 Downing Street on 30 August to hold a silent protest to signify having no voice


Mr Justice Irwin granted interim relief to the students who are already enrolled and those who are due to start this September to allow them to continue their studies at the university, pending resolution of the case.
In his ruling, he said: "It seems to me that the balance of convenience in this case does not favour a restoration which may well be temporary as that will involve new populations of students being brought into the university and engaging in courses of study which may not then be able to be completed."



A final decision on whether the students will be able to finish their course will be made at 4pm on Friday.
Salima Mawji, director at Match Solicitors, a legal service specialising in education law, told The Huffington Post UK students may be able to pursue their own legal challenges, due to the way they had been treated.
"It is only right and proper that the court deals with this application swiftly and makes a decision based on legal argument as the impact on international students is immense.
"The real victims in the current scenario are students who have spent thousands of pounds seeking a British education, only to be told that the institution that they placed their trust and reliance on, has let them down."
She added: "Students know that the decision of the court will either make their degree or break it. Either way, it is clear that the disruption and uncertainty will also count for something for students and legal challenges may still be available as a result of the distress this situation has caused."
