Get in touch with our Student Services team – we’re always happy to help.How does student finance work?
We know funding matters. Most degree-level students apply for a Student Loan to cover their tuition fees, and our team will guide you through the process from start to finish.
Depending on your circumstances, you may also be eligible for additional financial support. This can include help through the Higher Education Support Fund, the Care Leavers Scholarship, or support with childcare and travel costs. There may also be course-related support available, which our team can help you understand.
If you’re unsure what you’re eligible for or how to apply, we’ll help you work it out and support you through each step, so you can focus on your studies with confidence.
What learning support is available?
From the moment you start, there’s personalised support to help you stay on track – academically, practically and emotionally.
Every UCG student can access a Success Coach, your go-to person if anything’s feeling tricky. You can also book 1:1 sessions with our Academic Achievement Coach to get help with study skills, assignments, research and more.
If you’ve declared a disability, health condition or learning difficulty, you may be eligible for Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) and our in-house Disability Officer and Assessor will help with everything from applications to exam arrangements.
Students can also access confidential counselling, wellbeing services, safeguarding support and help with things like housing, childcare and careers.
What’s it like settling in and meeting people?
UCG has a friendly, grown-up vibe. Many students are local or returning to education. You’ll meet like-minded people on your course and in spaces like The Atrium, the Cozy Hub and recreational areas. It’s welcoming and no, you won’t be the only one feeling nervous.
What accommodation is available?
We offer student accommodation in our halls of residence, with a range of en-suite rooms and single rooms with shared facilities available to suit different needs and budgets.
Located within walking distance of campus, our accommodation includes furnished bedrooms, shared kitchens, Wi-Fi, utilities and 24-hour security, giving you a safe, comfortable place to live while you study.
Where can this degree take me after I finish?
Into work, into further study or wherever you want to go next. UCG graduates move into roles with local employers, start PGCEs, pursue Master’s degrees or step into careers they’ve trained for. As a UCG graduate, you’ll continue to have access to careers support and employability resources to help you plan your next step and move forward with confidence.
