FEES AND FUNDING

Read our guide below on undergraduate fees and funding for our BA (Hons) Multimedia Journalism degree.

Our Multimedia Journalism degree costs £9,250 per year and all full-time undergraduates can apply for a loan to cover their tuition fees. This is paid directly to the university and the amount available does not depend on household income.

There is also a maintenance loan available which can help cover living costs such as rent, books and travel. The amount available you are entitled to is means-tested based on household income.

There are some eligibility requirements to both loans including nationality and residence status and whether you have studied at university before. You can work out if you are eligible and determine how much you are entitled to here.

Loan repayments

For students starting their degree in September 2025 and studying for three years, you will start re-paying your student loan in April 2029 at the earliest. You will only start re-paying your student loan when your income reaches £25,000 a year.

You will re-pay 9% of your income over £25,000 and that amount is taken straight from your salary before it is paid to you.

You can find more information about re-paying your student loan here.

Applying for your student loan

You can apply for a student loan for our BA (Hons) Multimedia Journalism degree on student finance.

The application for students starting in September 2025 will be in May 2025. Continuing students must re-apply for student finance every year of their degree and this deadline is in June.

In order to apply you will need to create an account online where you will need your national insurance number, passport (if you have one) and your household’s financial details if applying for a maintenance loan.

You will then need to provide information about the course you plan to study – this can be your preferred choice if you have a conditional offer subject to A Level or BTEC results.

If you’re applying for a maintenance loan, you will need to give details of your household income which can include that of your parents or partner. For this you will need their national insurance numbers.

You might also be able to apply for extra help such as the Disabled Students’ Allowance, a Childcare Grant or Parents’ Learning Allowance if you have children or an Adult Dependants’ Grant if you have adults who depend on you financially.
