TUITIONFEESFORHOME&EUUNDERGRADUATEANDPGCESTUDENTSIN2012-13
Kings oers the highest quality research-led teaching and, under the provisions ofthe Higher Education Act, is expecting to charge Home/EU students tuition fees of
9,000 for all undergraduate programmes. However, most of you will not need to pay
any fees yourself whilst you are studying unless you wish to. Instead, you will be able
to defer payment by taking out a student loan for fees.
Self-fune stuents tuition fee pament conitions
Fees will be payable in two equal instalments. The rst instalment is due for payment
by 31 October or 14 days from date of invoice if later. The second instalment is
due for payment by 31 January or 14 days from date of invoice if later. An early
settlement refund of two per cent of total fees will be forwarded to students whomake full payment of their tuition fees prior to 31 October or within 14 days of the
date of invoice if later. Certain programmes are excluded from this arrangement
which you will be advised about.
Sponsore stuents tuition fee pament conitions
Where a student provides a valid sponsor letter at registration from an external
corporate body agreeing to pay tuition fees, the invoice will be sent direct to the
sponsoring organisation and payment of the invoice is due immediately. A student
who is sponsored by a friend or relative will be regarded as responsible for their
own fees.

Student loans Home & EU students
STUDENTLOANFORFEES
In 2012-13, it is expected that most Home and EU full-time undergraduate studentswill not have to pay tuition fees whilst studying, unless you wish to. Instead, you will
be able to apply for astudent loan for fees.
Thestudent loan for fees is a loan that will be available to all eligible home and EU
full-time undergraduates to match the level of tuition fees you have to pay, through
the Student Loans Company (SLC), in the same way as home undergraduates
will have a student loan for maintenance. This means that you will be deferring
payment of your tuition fees until after ou have left universit. The SLC will pay your
fee contribution to the university on your behalf, and the value of the fee will be
consolidated with your student loans for maintenance, where appropriate, and willbe repaid in the same way. You will only start repaying these loans once you have
nished studying and are earning more than 21,000 a year.
Both new and existing undergraduate students who have previously completed
an honours degree at a UK or overseas institution will not be eligible for tuition
fee loans, the Maintenance Grant or the Special Support Grant. You will also be
ineligible for a student loan for maintenance, unless you are undertaking a course
leading to a professional qualication in medicine or dentistry, or are in receipt of a
means-tested NHS Bursary.
Please note Students undertaking the four-year Graduate/Professional Entry
Programmes (Medicine/Dentistry) or the four-year Maxfax Entry Programme(Medicine/Dentistry) will be able to apply for a partial tuition loan for each year
of their course. Students will be expected to self-fund the rst 3,465 towards
their tuition costs in year 1 and will be able to access a tuition fee loan to cover the
remaining 5,535. In years 2 - 4 the Department of Health will contribute 3,465
towards the tuition charge and graduates can apply for a tuition fee loan to make up
the full cost of their tuition in each of these years.

money whilst studying and the lifestyle that you choose to lead. If you have a budget
outlining your income and are able to control your expenses, you should be able to
minimise the risk of running out of money whilst studying. This will also ensure that

of our academic services and quality of learning opportunities by the QualityAssurance Agency 2009 award.
ACADEMICCULTURE
One of the key features of higher education in the UK, and particularly at Kings,
is that you will have direct contact with academic members of sta within your
department. You are likely to have large group lectures, but you will also have smaller
group seminars, practical sessions and tutorials. You may also see members of sta
individually on occasions.
Students are expected to actively participate in small group sessions and engage
in discussions, rather than simply listen. The academic culture is also relatively
informal. Sta members will tell you how they wish to be addressed, but in many
cases you will be on rst name terms with them. Sta are also there to support
and guide you through your programme, but you should bear in mind that you are
responsible for your own learning. Time outside of lectures is your own but the
understanding is that you will be spending a considerable amount of your time
studying. Sta will not tell you to do this; it is something that is expected of you.
