What is a student loan?

Student Loans are part of the Government's financial support package for students carrying out a course of Higher Education in the United Kingdom, and are available to help students meet their living costs.

Interest is linked to the rate of inflation, so that in real terms the total amount borrowers repay is equivalent to the amount they have borrowed.

The rate at which borrowers repay their loans depends on the level of their income.
