This is Student Loans UK...

Welcome to a site that is specifically tailored for students and all the baggage that comes with being one.

Going to university is a life changing experience. You will reflect on these memories throughout the rest of your days with much laughter and disbelief. But don't let these thoughts be tarnished with regret. Every year thousands upon thousands of students prepare to go to university yet they are unaware of the difficulties that await them. The cleaning, washing, ironing...you never thought you would miss your mum until you begin living on campus!

Studying for further education is invaluable for success in employment and life in general. However, the cost of further education is prohibitively expensive, which means that thousands are excluded from the benefits that a degree or diploma can bring.

The fact of the matter is that university life is very expensive. Only six years ago the main areas of concern were accommodation, living expenses, course materials and travel. But since the British Government abolished student grants for everyone tuition fees, and the soon to be introduced topup fees, have become another financial burden that is putting students into substancial debt.

It is for these reasons that student loans exist. They provide low rates of interest that can be paid back over a number of years once you has moved on into the world of paid employment, providing there were sufficient funds to pay for your fees and living expenses while you were studying.

We hope you find this site useful and enlightening for either your imminent start at university or your continuing studies.
