Student finance for undergraduate

Hi,
Im looking into student finance for paramedic science at uni.
I’m currently in year 12 sixth form applying for uni this year.

Im aware that I can get lots of different loans but I’m not quite sure how it all works and I want to be sure. What are the different options I can get. This is accommodation and how that all works, tuition fees and how to handle all the financial side of things.
Thank you!

If you normally live in England, you can apply to Student Finance England for tuition fee and maintenance loans. The tuition fee loan is paid directly to your uni to cover your tuition fees. The maintenance loan will be paid to you in three instalments - around the start of each term. You use your maintenance loan to pay for your accommodation and living costs. The maintenance loan you receive is based on household income - if you are from a low income household you will receive a higher loan than students from a high income household. For more info:

If you choose to study paramedic science at a uni in England, you could also be eligible for an annual training grant of £5,000 per year (and reimbursement of placement expenses) from the NHS Learning Support Fund:
