Online Study Funding

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.

Our online postgraduate study options include Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc), Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) and a PGCHE. The majority of postgraduate students fund their studies with a Master's Loan, although students on our PGDips and PGCHE are not eligible for this loan.
