What do I need to pay for?
×If you decide to study away from home, your three biggest outgoings will be tuition fees, accommodation and living costs.
How much are tuition fees?
×The cost for UK undergraduate students at UA92 for September 2020 entry is £10,800 per academic year.
Most students choose to take out a student loan to cover this, paid directly to the institution.
How do I apply for a student loan?
×You can apply online from Student Finance England, www.gov.uk/student-finance.
Applying is not dependent on an offer, so you can get a headstart on the process.
When do I pay this back?
×Not straight away. You won’t actually start paying the loan back until you’re working and earning over £25,000 - how much you pay depends on your salary.
Is there a loan for accommodation and living costs?
×Yes – eligible UK students can apply for a Maintenance Loan, again through Student Finance England, up to £8,700 a year to help with the costs of living. Repayment of this works in the same way as your tuition fees – they actually combine together into one sum.
I’m an international student, how much are my fees?
×£20,655 per year. You will be expected to pay a minimum of 50 percent upfront before your course begins.
Can I get advice or support during my time at UA92?
×Absolutely, we will have a Support Team on campus to help you with budgeting and financial advice to ensure you manage your money whilst studying with us. In addition, and as part of our Target Talent Curriculum, you’ll learn about financial planning to manage your finances in study and throughout your working life.
Students will regularly enjoy guest lectures and masterclasses, often from industry professionals currently working within the creative media industries. Student assignment work is regularly supported by advice from professional journalists, broadcasters and marketing experts. UA92 Journalism, Media and Communication students can expect enlightening visits to MediaCity, ITV News, sporting events and even a bespoke session with Gary Neville about his broadcasting career.
It is also hugely important to focus on the freelance and flexible nature of work in this sector, therefore working with respected freelance journalists and new marketing and design agencies will help you understand the exciting possibilities available in this sector. Students will get to work closely with marketing, PR and advertising agency contacts to work on live briefs and will get the opportunity to present back to industry specialists who will critique their pitches.
Further partner connections are built through the Character and Personal Development modules, as students work on projects set by a range of partners and undertake placements which build on their subject discipline and give an insight into working across subject and industry boundaries.
