Foundation Degrees

This information is intended for students applying for admission to the University of Leicester Foundation Degree in Drug and Alcohol Counselling and Treatment either on-campus or by distance learning.

Undergraduate Funding

Part-time students on undergraduate courses can now take out a non-means tested tuition fee loan to cover the costs of tuition fees, which means you won't have to pay your fees upfront and you'll only begin to repay the loan if you are earning more than £21,000 a year.

The University of Leicester Student Welfare Service also administers various funds for which students may qualify if they are ineligible for Tuition Fee Loan funding.
