Higher education short courses

These short courses, starting in September 2022, will be eligible for tuition fee loans in a three-year trial as part of the pathway towards the Lifelong Loan Entitlement (LLE), to be introduced from 2025. The 22 providers of the short courses were successful in an Office for Students (OfS) Challenge Competition. Students who apply for these short courses can also apply for a tuition fee loan. Further information on the loans will be available later in 2022. You can find more information about the trial on the Office for Students website.

The Secretary of State designates these courses as eligible for tuition fee loans under the Higher Education Short Course Loans Regulations 2022, under the powers of The Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998 section 22.
