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.
