How to apply for a course

complete an application on the UCAS website (www.ucas.com).
For all other courses please contact our One Stop Shop Team
on 01256 306484 and ask for an application form. All prospective
students will be invited in for an interview with curriculum specialists.
05
Funding your HE course
You don’t need to be well off to study a HE course –there’s a lot of help
available to make it an accessible option for anyone.
There are two main costs that you will need to think about:
1.
Tuition fees to pay for your course
2.
Your living costs
Any HE student studying on a full time Degree, Foundation Degree or Higher
National Diploma course can apply for a loan to pay for the tuition fee (tuition
fee loan) and may be able to get some help with living costs (e.g. food, books
and accommodation). Many of the courses in this guide are eligible for HE
funding, and we’ve let you know if that’s not the case.
1. Tuition Fee Loan
Regardless of your income or background you will be eligible to take out a
Tuition Fee Loan to cover the costs charged by the College for the course.
This loan is completely optional, and is available to you in every year of HE
study. This loan is repayable, and you can find out more in the repayments
section overleaf.
2. Help with living costs
All full time students are eligible for a Maintenance Loan to contribute towards
their living costs. The amount you get will depend on your household income,
and as it is a loan it is repayable.
You may also be eligible to receive a Maintenance Grant depending on
your household income. For example, if your household income is less than
£25,000 you will receive a full £3,250 grant. You will not have to pay back a
maintenance grant.
06
There are also extra grants available, for those who have particular
circumstances relating to childcare, disabilities and learning needs. On top of
this the College may offer bursaries. These funds do not have to be paid back.
Access to Learning Fund
Each year the College is given a very small bursary to support students in
hardship. Applications are means tested and funds are available on a first
come first served bases. Students will need to have applied for their full
financial assistance from Student Finance England prior to any Access to
Learning funds being released. Please contact our Student Finance Team on
01256 306394 for further information.
Part time study
From 2012 part-time students will be able to receive a loan for tuition fees, but
not for living costs.
You apply online to Student Finance England for loans and we can provide
guidance on this in College. You can find out how much you may be able to
get by logging on to www.direct.gov.uk.
Repaying your loans
Any loans you take out are repaid through the income tax system. That means
once you’re working, your employer takes it off the payroll, it simply reduces
the amount you receive in your pay packet. You will repay 9% of everything
you earn annually above £21,000 (pre-tax salary). If your earnings are under
£21,000 you do not make any loan repayments.
For example if your income each year before tax is £24,000, your monthly
earnings before tax are £2,000 and your approximate monthly repayment
would be £22 (9% of £3,000).
You will stop making repayments when you’ve cleared the debt or 30 years
have passed (from the April after graduation), whichever comes first. If you’ve
not cleared the debt within 30 years then the remainder is simply wiped, with
no link your credit score, or other financial information. For more help and
information please contact our Student Finance Team on 01256 306394.

“I never realised before I started
this course that I would actually
enjoy Finance and Law! Doing
this HND has opened a whole
new world of opportunities
to me. I am now seriously
considering going to University
at the end of my HND to do
a one year top-up to gain a
degree. Previously I had always
thought that university was way
out of my league – not anymore.
BCoT has given me confidence
in my own ability and I am really
excited about what the future
holds for me.”
“I didn’t know before I came
to BCoT that International
students can study here as
a home student, making the
fees far more affordable. I think
success is all about what works
for you, and doing this HND is
certainly ticking all the boxes for
me. The classes are small and
the lecturers engaging. Here
you receive individual attention,
mentoring and support and I
really feel that BCoT is preparing
me for the next stage of my
educational journey.”
“I had no idea that you could
work towards a degree on a
course-work based programme
until I came to BCoT. Doing this
HND is the best decision I could
have made. I have responded
so well to the personalised
approach to teaching at BCoT
- it just suits me. I love the fact
that everything does not come
down to one exam. I can work
with my tutors to produce highquality work throughout the year
and, if I stumble, they pick me
up and I move on. This flexible
way of working is definitely the
way to go - I’d recommend it to
anyone.”
“To be honest, I did have high
expectations of this course as
last year I studied the Level 3
Foundation in Art and Design
and loved every minute of it!
The degree programme allows
you to develop your creativity
and design work, and every day
you discover and learn more.
I already feel so prepared for
life after BCoT and I’m only
in my first year. I never knew
that this degree would open
up such a whole new world
of opportunities and make my
educational journey so exciting I feel very lucky.”
“This course has quite literally
been everything and more – I
can’t tell you how much I’ve
enjoyed it, and how much I’ve
learnt. Every single day I’ve
discovered and tried something
new. I never anticipated I’d learn
so much, and be so prepared
for my future career. I feel really
sad that I’m in the final year of
my degree now as BCoT has
been my home for three years –
I don’t want to leave this place,
but am so grateful for the path it
has set me on.”
