Does anyone know when the 2016/17 applications will be open (i.e what month)?

I spoke to them on the phone the other day and they said the 29th of February

Keep an eye on the website; but as far as I'm aware, the above posts are right.

£9000 is the maximum tuition fee a state uni can charge per year. Are you going to a private uni? And is the price quoted a tuition fee or does it include other things too?

I've never come across this before.

Hi, I have a question, I don't know if I qualify as a Uk student or not??? Because of my parents and family circumstances, I have an EU passport but I was born in England, currently live here, I've lived here on and off and I haven't lived full time in Europe for 5 years or so. I'd assumed I counted as a uk student and put that on my UCAS, but my fee assessment from Edinbrugh said I was an EU student? I've checked the website and it appears that EU students don't get maintenance loans. Would that apply to me and would it change if I were to obtain a British passport? Sorry for all the questions I'm just a bit confused

Hi, my name is Belen and I applied for Uni for the next starter year. My question is: Can I still get a loan with a single parent? If yes...How much that money will be (more or less)

If you live with a single parent, they have to send evidence of this. The amount of loan you get is based on their household income.

Does student finance cover MEng for the full 4 years?
I've just transferred from the BSc of my course to the MEng and want to know if i'll still be funded the same.
