Study local and save money at University Centre Middlesbrough!

You will be taught on-site at our Middlehaven Campus by experienced professionals. We offer more teaching hours than a traditional University and our class sizes are smaller, meaning you’ll receive more contact time with your tutor including 1:1 feedback on your work and progress.

Many of our qualifications are vocationally orientated and designed for employment, so you’ll also gain the skills employers are looking for, a strong work ethic and the confidence to progress in the workplace.

Changes to funding for home fee status

If your course started on or after the 1 August 2021 you will not be eligible for home fee status, undergraduate, postgraduate and further education financial support from Student Finance England unless you meet one of the following criteria:

  • You benefit from the citizens’ rights agreements
  • You are an Irish national living in the UK or the Republic of Ireland – benefits of Irish nationals under the Common Travel Area arrangement will continue
  • You should ask the relevant student funding body if you’re eligible for any support if you’re studying in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.

Financing your studies

If you are worried about the cost of Higher Education, it might help to know there are a range of financial support schemes available to help you. Our friendly Student Services Department can offer you advice and guidance on any available loans or bursary options.

Tuition Fee Loans

Full and part-time students studying a qualification worth at least 30 credits can apply for a tuition loan available through the Student Loans Company. You don’t have to begin making repayments on your Tuition Fee Loan until you’re earning £27,295 per year. Taking out a loan might seem nerve-wracking, but your credit rating won’t prevent you from getting loans in the future.
