New Student 2025-26 Entry
Tuition fees for Higher Education courses starting in the 2025/26 academic year are currently under review.
This review reflects recent government reforms, including a nationwide increase in fee caps and inflationary adjustments after fees remained static for over a decade. Preston College is committed to maintaining competitive fees while ensuring the sustainability and quality of our provision, enabling us to continue delivering an exceptional student experience. Revised full and part-time programmes fees will take into account the guidance given by the Government and the Office for Students (OfS). Tuition fees for Starting September 2025 are subject to confirmation by Office for Students.
Tuition fee loans, maintenance loans and specific grants are available from Student Finance England to cover the cost of tuition fees and help towards living costs. Any repayments due are only made after you complete your studies and are dependent on your income, not on what you borrowed.
