Student loans
If you are in receipt of a student loan, you will continue to be eligible for this whilst studying abroad. You may also be eligible for a Student Finance England (SFE) travel grant to help with travel insurance and visa application costs if the period of study abroad is a necessary part of your programme, for example, where it includes the opportunity of a Placement Year. Contact your local Student Finance Office for further information. We will inform SFE that you are studying abroad.
If you know you will be studying abroad next year, we advise you to apply for next year’s student loan as soon as possible.
