Student finance – What is it all about?

  Apr 26, 2018
When it comes to student finance, it is a difficult topic to cover, but we are going to try our best and explain the tricky topic which is student finance.   Summary The maximum amount of tuition fee a university can charge is £9,250 a year. However, a university can charge any amount from free up to this amount, yet most universities charge around £9,000. Full time students starting in 2018 can apply for a maximum loan of £8,700, yet this is dependant of your household income. At the end of the three years, an average student will end up with around £50,000 worth of debt. Yet you won’t start repaying the debt off until you earn £25,000 each year.

On average in this industry, the gender pay gap came to 18.4%. Compared to the national average of 9.7%%, it is almost double.     What is the gender pay gap?
