The funding available for聽a placement year is significantly different to a normal study year.聽It is important to think about whether you聽can financially commit to a placement, based on the funding which is available to you.聽The following guidance has been put together to help you with the decision-making process.

Reduced rate maintenance loans for 2024/25

UK home students聽funded by Student Finance England will be entitled to a reduced rate maintenance loan during a paid or unpaid work placement year.聽This will be typically in year 3 of a full time undergraduate course at 裸聊直播.聽The loan rates are demonstrated in the table below:

Type B placements

UK home students who undertake聽what is considered as a Type B placement by Student Finance England,聽could be eligible for full funding, i.e. the same amount received in a standard study year.聽This support would be subject to household income assessment as usual.聽Type B placements are defined by Student Finance England as:

• unpaid service in a hospital or in a public health service laboratory or with a clinical commissioning group in the UK
• unpaid service with a local authority in the UK acting in the exercise of its functions relating to the care of children and young persons, health or welfare, or with a voluntary organisation providing facilities or carrying out activities of a like nature in the UK
• unpaid service with a local authority acting in the exercise of public health functions in the UK
• unpaid service in the prison or probation and aftercare service in the UK
• unpaid research in a UK institution or, in the case of a student attending an overseas institution as a part of their course in an overseas institution
• unpaid service with a Special Health Authority, the NHS Commissioning Board, the National Institute for Care and Excellence, the Health and Social Care Information Centre, a Local Health Board; a Health Board or a Special Health Board in Scotland, or a Health and Social Services Board in Northern Ireland
• unpaid service in the UK Parliament.

It is likely students will need to provide evidence that they are undertaking this type of placement to their funding body (Student Finance England or other) to be considered for the full support.聽The evidence can be uploaded to a student's Student Finance online account. This could be, for example, a job description or a letter from the employer to confirm unpaid placement and job responsibilities.

Fees and more funding options

The tuition fee for a full placement in 2024/25聽will be 拢1,850 for both undergraduate and聽postgraduate students.聽UK undergraduate home students on a full placement year will also be able to apply for the Tuition Fee Loan through their funding body (SFE or other) as normal, to cover the 拢1,850.
