Helping to take some of the money worries out of
studying.
The news has been full of stories about increased fees for
higher education from September 2012. In response to these funding
changes, Warwickshire College has taken action to ensure that
higher education with
us remains affordable.
Our course fees are competitive – much lower than the average
university fee but reflecting the high quality of education that
you can expect from Warwickshire College.

and maintenance grants. For more information about government

To reduce the financial burden, Warwickshire College is part of
the National Scholarship Programme, offering £3,000 scholarships to
selected eligible students, including care leavers and students
from low income households.
We also provide a generous bursary scheme offering £750 per year
to eligible full-time HE students from low income households who do
not receive a scholarship.

Part-time courses
Fees for part time study are usually based on the full time fees
for a similar course, less £500, divided pro rata.
For example, if it costs £6,500 for a full time foundation
degree consisting of six modules per year then a student
taking four modules per year might then pay two thirds of
£6,000, giving a fee of £4,000. Download our leaflet on HE

Part time students can get tuition fee loans in the same way as
full time students but do not have access to grants for living
costs. For more information visit the Student Finance
England website.
