Panander,
We currently have students whose fees have been paid by their employer. Their are no fees up front, grants are available to students whose family income is below £37,000 and Student loans are available to all students, loans would have to be paid back upon completion of the course at a rate that is dependent upon income at the time.
Employer paying, thats great, if not then you can cover the cost of the course with a combination of student loan and grant.
