Online Study Funding
Fund the next step in your career
The tuition fees and funding for online study are different to those for on-campus study. You'll find information about both tuition fees and how you can fund your online study on this page.
Undergraduate funding for online study
Apply for a tuition fee loan
If you study an online undergraduate degree with Falmouth you'll be studying an accelerated degree (whether you choose to study part-time over three years or full-time over two years).
UK undergraduate students studying an online accelerated degree may be eligible for a tuition fee loan. Go to the Government's website to find out more about accelerated tuition fee loans and how to apply.
Any questions?
If you have questions about the amount you can loan and how to apply, you can contact Student Finance:
Can I get a maintenance loan?
Please note maintenance loans are not available for online, distance learning study unless you are unable to attend a course on campus because of a disability.
I'm not a UK student, can I get a loan?
Non-UK students studying online will need to secure funding from their home country or a private source.
Postgraduate funding for online study
Find out what postgraduate funding is available to you
Our online postgraduate study options include Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc), Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) and a PGCHE. The majority of postgraduate students fund their studies with a Master's Loan, although students on our PGDips and PGCHE are not eligible for this loan. You may also be eligible for our scholarships, bursaries and awards. Speak to a course advisor about funding options that may be available to you.
